Colsons, later Dingles and House of Fraser, was a department store located in Exeter, Devon, England.

Mrs Cole announced her retirement and sale on 27 July 1789, with the newly named Colsons opening on 3 August the same year.

In 1887, George Colson took over the running of the business, and in 1889 the partnership broke down, with the business reverting to the name Colson & Co.[6] Also in 1887, the company provided its entire stock of calico to help wrap the dead bodies from the Exeter Theatre Royal fire, which had killed 186.

[6] In 1913, George sold the business to a local JP, Sir Edgar Plummer who ran the store for 12 years.

[10] Following the construction of the new Princesshay shopping centre nearby, which included rival department-store chain Debenhams in 2007, House of Fraser invested £1.5m in upgrading the Exeter store, which reopened branded as House of Fraser, dropping the Dingles name.

[11] In 2018, House of Fraser group was in significant financial difficulty, entering into a company voluntary arrangement.
