Fire crews were called to deal with a small blaze inside shoe store Schuh, in Magdalen Street, in Oxford city centre.
Around eight fire engines arrived at the scene at around 5.30pm after a small fire broke out under a display cabinet.
The store was evacuated, along with Borders book shop, JJB Sports and Sainsbury's, while fire crews checked the building.
Nobody was injured in the incident, but Magdalen Street was closed and buses diverted for around two hours.
