Zara Reopens Expanded Nazareth Store With Weekend Shopping Hours
Zara has reopened its expanded 3,000-square-meter store at the BIG Fashion Nazareth complex. The renovated branch offers a unique weekend shopping option, remaining open on Saturdays unlike most Israeli branches.
Zara has reopened its flagship store at the BIG Fashion complex in Nazareth after a six-month closure for extensive renovations and expansion.
The store officially welcomed back shoppers on Thursday, unveiling a dramatically transformed retail space that is now two and a half times larger than its previous size, growing from 1,200 square meters to 3,000 square meters.
According to reports from the BIG shopping centers group, the extensive remodeling project involved reconfiguring roughly ten surrounding stores across 2,700 square meters to accommodate the massive footprint increase, allowing Zara to showcase its full fashion collections in a modernized environment.
Beyond the physical transformation, the Nazareth branch stands out with a unique operational advantage for local consumers: it will remain open for shopping on Saturdays. This sets the location apart from most Zara branches in the country, which traditionally close on the Sabbath even when their host shopping complexes are open.
For comparison, Zara's flagship location at the BIG Fashion Glilot complex remains closed on Saturdays due to the local franchise management policy led by businessman Joey Schwebel.
