Modella Capital acquired Wynsor’s World of Shoes in November 2025. The business operates 47 stores across the North of England, alongside a growing ecommerce platform. Wynsor’s offers a wide range of well-known footwear brands, including Adidas, Nike and Skechers, in addition to its own branded products.

The acquisition followed a challenging period for the retailer. Like many businesses in the sector, Wynsor’s had faced a difficult retail environment in recent years, and its financial performance was significantly impacted by a cyber-attack in July 2025. Following these events, the company’s owners – principally the Riverside and Florence Charitable Trusts – decided to pursue a sale of the business.

Modella Capital is working closely with Wynsors’ management team to stabilise and strengthen the business, with the objective of restoring long-term financial health and supporting the continued operation of the brand and its store network.
