ZARA’s Flagship Store at Burnside Village has Officially Reopened

November 1, 2024

ZARA’s flagship store at Burnside Village has officially reopened its doors today. Set in a prime location, the store totals nearly 2,000 square metres, spanning two floors. This store was originally launched in 2011 as the third store in Australia.

The new store features the latest technological innovations from Zara’s integrated online and physical store platform. It reflects Inditex and Zara’s current strategy of opening stores equipped with the most efficient technological tools so that customers can live the fashion experience in a spacious, innovative and more sustainable environment. The quality of space is a vital part of the concept.

The interior is predominantly white, clean and neutral with hints of colour and warmth from the wooden furniture and the natural tones of the textiles. The space integrates the Women’s, Men’s and Kid’s collections across two floors. These floors are connected through escalators and a lift.

The store features Zara’s latest retail concept for larger stores. It is equipped with the most efficient technological tools to offer customers a unique fashion experience integrated with the online platform. Some of the services integrated with the brand’s app include a fitting room reservation service, the ability to search online for items in the store, order and collect them within two hours and to check available stock. The store also boasts of an assisted checkout area.

Zara Burnside Village operates some of the most advanced energy efficiency systems, a testament to Zara’s full commitment to sustainability. The measures adopted in this new store reflect this commitment and include high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, LED lighting for greater energy savings and the use of materials with less environmental impact.

The store is also connected to our Inergy internal platform that centrally monitors the consumption of air conditioning and electrical equipment to optimise management, identify the most efficient systems, improve maintenance, and define strategies to reduce energy demand.

Zara works continuously to reduce the environmental impact of its teams’ daily decision-making through a roadmap and milestones for the whole value chain. It also develops reuse and recycling programmes to promote the circular economy and to reduce waste and the first-time consumption of raw materials.

Zara is part of the Inditex Group, a global fashion company, together with Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho and Zara Home. With a business model focused on constant innovation and customer service, Inditex operates an integrated platform of physical and online stores in over 200 markets and is committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2040.
