Topshop is making a major return to UK high street retail, with products now available in all 32 John Lewis department stores nationwide.
This marks the brand’s first large-scale re-entry into physical stores since the collapse of the Arcadia retail group in 2021.
Topshop was acquired by ASOS following Arcadia’s administration, and this partnership with John Lewis represents the first full rollout of the brand in brick-and-mortar stores since the acquisition.
Industry observers say the move signals confidence in the enduring appeal of high street fashion, despite the rise of online shopping, and highlights John Lewis’s strategy to attract younger customers through well-known fashion brands.
Michelle Wilson, managing director of Topshop, said: “Today is about making it easier for customers to access the Topshop and Topman pieces they love.
“From our cult denim to new season footwear, you can see it, feel it and take it home the same day.
Partnering with John Lewis brings Topshop back to high streets across the UK with the level of service our customers expect.”
Peter Ruis, managing director of John Lewis, said: “This moment marks a significant acceleration of our fashion ambition at John Lewis.
To be the exclusive home of an iconic brand like Topshop, sat alongside other exciting new brands, signals our commitment to be the definitive style authority on the British high street.
