ZARA signs a new flagship store at British Land’s Glasgow Fort
British Land has signed international fashion brand ZARA at Glasgow Fort, one of Scotland’s leading retail parks.
ZARA will relocate from its current location to a 37,000 sq ft store, previously occupied by Topshop and Topman, doubling its footprint at the retail park.
Ben Grose, Head of Retail Leasing at British Land, commented on the deal: “ZARA’s decision to double their footprint and open a flagship store at Glasgow Fort is a fantastic endorsement for the park.
“Since the pandemic, we’ve seen retail parks become increasingly popular with retailers and their customers due to affordability of space, larger stores, accessibility and rapid growth of click and collect, which has helped drive strong leasing activity over the last 18 months.”
Work has already started on the new store, expected to open in late 2023. ZARA’s new store will add to Glasgow Fort’s existing lineup of popular fashion brands, including Next, Mango, Marks & Spencer and River Island.
