ZARA has signed for a new 43,000 sq ft store at atria Watford shopping centre.
The fashion retailer will open the new store, which spans two floors in Charter Place, early next year. The unit will replace the brand’s existing 18,000 sq ft store at the centre and ZARA has signed a 15-year lease on the unit.
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, which asset manages the centre for SGS, said: “We’re really excited that ZARA has decided to upsize and enhance its offer here at atria Watford. This is a brand our shoppers love – and it will act as a real footfall driver as we enter the new year. The decision reflects the strong performance of ZARA’s existing store at the centre, as well as the strong relationship we’ve built with the team. We look forward to seeing the doors open in 2024.
“Prime retail space like our own remains in high demand and our pipeline for next year is already looking healthy. We look forward to giving further positive updates in the months ahead.”
