Oxford is unique, offering visitors and residents the irreplaceable comforts of home while sharing a glimpse of individuality rare to many communities. The source of Oxford’s individuality can be debated — the literary feel, the friendly citizens, the fabulous food and shopping or maybe the attention to detail which enhances the Square, University and entire community.
If you take the time to visit the many unique shops around Oxford and Lafayette County, you’ll get a taste of big-city selection and style while enjoying our small-town courtesy and attention. Stop into any of the many specialty boutiques, art galleries and hometown-friendly stores that surround the downtown Square and feel the warmth and charm of a community that prides itself on hospitality, style and culture.
Radiating out from this shopping center are streets dotted with even more intriguing stores filled with wondrous antiques, elegant furniture, fashionable apparel, whimsical gifts, radiant flowers and the same gracious atmosphere that makes Oxford as unique a tourist destination as it is a shopping adventure.

From “The South’s oldest continuously running store,” Neilson’s, to independently owned bookstore Square Books to Super Wal-Mart, JCPenneys, Sears, Kroger Grocery Store and various new shopping centers scattered throughout the area, the shopping opportunities in Oxford are unlike any town its size. Plus, brand new to the Oxford shopping scene is the Oxford Galleria, located on West Jackson Avenue. This new shopping center features a 58,000-square-foot Belk Department Store, Maurice’s, Mimosa Flowers and Gifts, Newk’s West location, plus an assortment of other shopping selections to please any shopper’s palate. To top off all the Oxford shopping opportunities, Oxford also features a host of local banks ready to serve, and a ménage of law offices and other professional services confirm the area’s claim to regional prominence.
