Fashion flourishes at intu Lakeside with new Zara flagship store

Retailer Zara is the latest fashion retailer to find a new home at intu Lakeside with the opening of a flagship store.

Occupying a 35,000 sq ft unit in the Essex shopping centre, the two-level store will feature the full Zara range including womenswear, menswear and kidswear.

The Zara launch follows high street fashion brands H&M and Next who opened their stores in intu Lakeside in 2017, and comes as the centre prepares to open its £72m retail and leisure development later this year.

Rebecca Ryman, regional managing director for intu, said: “More and more global brands are selecting intu Lakeside as the right destination from which to flourish across the UK by opening a new store here or by expanding their current footprint.

“Zara is a great example of this. Its on-trend designs continue to strike a chord across the UK and globally and we’re really excited to see a larger store that offers customers its full clothing range.”
