SHOPPERS bagged items at a new shop that has just opened at a retail park in an Oxfordshire town.

Clothing and homeware store, Next, opened its doors at Bicester Shopping Park for the first time last week.

It is now the second unit to start trading at the £40 million Kingsmere site after sportswear outlet Nike which opened in January.

The store includes a Costa coffee inside allowing customers to buy refreshments as they shop.

Maureen Bird, from Bicester, said: “So I popped in to see how Next looked. Very nice friendly staff. Nice to have a decent shop in Bicester.”

Before the store opened, people in Bicester would have to travel to Banbury Gateway Retail Park for their nearest Next.

Other brands set to open at the site are Pure Gym, Boots, M&S Simply Food and EE. Developers hope the shopping park will be fully open by Easter at the latest.
