In summer 2021 the former owners of Selfridges - the Weston family, put on offer a portfolio of eighteen stores, including the London flagship, the brand’s two Manchester stores, and the Birmingham branch.
Over Christmas the estate was bought by Thai business empire Central Group and Signa -the largest privately owned real estate company in Austria for a reported £4 billion.
The Weston family bought Selfridges in 2003 for £598 million.
