'Massive moment' as Liverpool ONE plans flagship store expansion

Liverpool ONE has announced one of its stores is set to undergo a major expansion, almost doubling in size.

To accommodate new facilities and technologies, fashion retailer Zara will jump from its current 27,000 sq ft unit to 42,000 sq ft. The revamped store is expected to open later this year.

Zara plans to offer a larger selection of menswear, womenswear, and childrenswear with new in-store technologies such as self-service areas and online order collection points.

Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Liverpool ONE owners Grosvenor, said: “Zara choosing to increase their investment in Liverpool ONE is a testament to the location’s reputation as a destination for flagships. As one of Liverpool ONE’s leading retailers, we have no doubt that the upsized anchor store will only serve to strengthen Zara’s sustained demand and loyal customer base in Liverpool.”

He posted on LinkedIn: "It’s been a long time coming but a massive moment to be able to announce the significant upsize of the existing ZARA SA store on South John Street in Liverpool ONE to create a UK flagship store for the brand, opening later this year."
