'High street' investment from Oasis

Fashion chain Oasis has invested more than £7m in its high-street stores.

As part of an 18-month refurbishment programme – demonstrating its "commitment to the high street" – it will reopen its 5,097 sq ft store on Argyll Street in central London. Oasis, which is part of Aurora Fashions, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Liz Evans, managing director, said: "We're really proud to be investing in the UK high street. The growth in multi-channel – especially internet – retailing means customers are demanding more from physical stores: more excitement and a more personalised experience driven by new technology."
