Shoe retailer Russell & Bromley will be returning to Westgate Oxford later this year, following its nationwide administration earlier in 2026.
The 150-year-old footwear brand was acquired by Next as part of a rescue deal in January 2026, with 33 stores forced to close.
Now, it’s good news for Oxford shoppers as Russell & Bromley is confirmed to be returning to its previous location within Westgate Oxford, opening on 3rd September.
Clare Martin, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, commented: “The return of Russell & Bromley is brilliant news, and we’re delighted that Westgate Oxford has been chosen as one of the first locations for reopening.
“Russell & Bromley has always been a popular brand among our guests and it’s a great part of our retail mix. We look forward to seeing the store reopen later this year.”
