Woolgate Shopping Centre
Witney Shopping
Witney has been lucky enough to attract some major retailers over the years with many major chain stores opening.
Witney has a unique blend of shops, from large stores including Waitrose supermarket, Currys.digital, WH Smith and Waterstones, to many smaller shops such as Cove and Rapture.
Marriotts Walk shopping centre has brought more big names to the town, including Debenhams and Marks & Spencer while the Woolgate shopping centre has attracted fashion giants Next and H&M to join its 24 other top retailers.
In previous years the catalogue retailer Argos, the home and garden store Robert Dyas and the clothing retailer Fat Face have all opened in Witney. The chain Holland & Barrett also opened a store in Witney in February 2005. You can find their store in the Woolgate centre.
The town’s range of shopping was boosted by the arrival of Argos and Robert Dyas as well as the Costa Coffee cafe in the Woolgate.
