Zara to upsize and revamp 30 stores across US and Europe

Zara the Inditex-owned fashion giant has upsized and relocated from its current spot on the Briggate shopping street to the new 46,000 sq ft location which spans three floors.

It was home to Topshop until 2021 when the collapse of Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group led to the closure of all its physical stores. Landlord Landsec informed the media that the new store will incorporate Zara’s latest technological innovations to “guarantee customers a seamless shopping experience”.

The move is part of the retailer’s plan to open and revamp stores in key locations across the US and Europe.

The new flagship comes as the business undertakes its store optimization plan, which “encompasses bigger, better, and more beautiful stores in the best retail destinations globally”.



A spokesman of Inditex said it would open 30 US stores in the next three years, including big stores in New York, Miami, Chicago, and other major cities. The revamp plan was made after it was found that the customers demand more from their shopping experience, brands are prioritizing prime locations that drive footfall, enable customer service, and have the ability to integrate in-store and online shopping experiences.

The spokesman further said that Inditex retail strategy allows it to work in partnership with brands holistically to find them the best locations and ensure that their physical presence adds value to its wider multichannel offer.
