Liverpool One has already made a statement addition to its 2025 fashion line-up. Inditex’s star brand Zara has opened its significantly upsized flagship on the mall’s upper and lower South John Street. 

The new 42,000 sq ft store “is the latest example of brand investment in the destination, following a landmark year of signings that will make 2025 Liverpool One’s biggest year for openings since it launched in 2008”, noted Asset Management Director Rob Deacon.

Increasing in size by 55% — from 27,200 sq ft to 42,000 sq ft — the new store offers a larger collection of Zara’s menswear, womenswear, and childrenswear across two floors. Together with a more spacious interior, the flagship “places the customer experience at the forefront, adopting the brand’s latest innovative technologies” such as self-service payment facilities.

Deacon added: “2024 was a milestone year for big-name signings and 2025 will be our biggest year for openings yet, with Uniqlo, Sephora and TFG London set to make their debuts.”
 
Zara is one of 22 brands with a total combined footprint of 135,000 sq ft that have invested in their existing stores at the Liverpool centre since the beginning of 2024. A further 34 brands committed to the destination last year, covering a total of 200,000 sq ft, including Uniqlo, Uniqlo, which is set to make its city debut on Paradise Street in a 25,000 sq ft flagship, a 7,5000 sq ft Sephora, and, at 12,000 sq ft, the biggest-ever multi-brand flagship from fashion retail group, TFG London.
 
As well as permanent signings, Liverpool One also welcomed a series of short-term lets throughout 2024 including AllSaints, Curated Makers, and Noughts and Crosses. The destination has also played host to the physical debuts of clicks-to-bricks brands such as Luxe Collective, Sisters & Seekers, Glamify Fashion, and more recently, Applied Nutrition x Yelir.
