Selfridges Wins Approval for Private Members’ Club

Selfridges, the department store chain owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Thailand’s Central Group, won approval for a new private members’ club at its flagship London outlet.

Westminster City Council approved an application to convert space currently used for staff offices into a membership venue with a terrace and private dining room. The proposal is part of a wider plan to launch a new “exclusive new shopping and social destination for its most valued customers and members” on Duke Street in the spring, according to a filing.
