Fashion retailer Zara has opened a new 51,000sq ft flagship store at Bullring and Grand Central in Birmingham as part of Hammerson’s strategy to focus on the flight to quality. The latest global brand to invest in Bullring and Grand Central, joining Sephora, The Sidemen, and PureSeoul in the last six weeks alone. The new Zara features the Inditex brand’s latest store concept across two floors, showcasing its full range of womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear. The minimalist interior design includes automated collection and returns points for a seamless customer experience.
