Zara Confirms Bulgarian Expansion

Spanish company Inditex, parent company of Zara and the world's largest and most internationalised fashion retailer, announced its intent to open three more stores in Bulgaria this year.

The store in the capital Sofia will be located on the fashion street Vitosha, but the location of the other two shops – in the Black Sea town of Burgas and Stara Zagora – was not immediately clear.

The company however is known to have signed contracts for the opening of stores in the Gallery malls, which will also feature some of its other brands, such as Pull and Bear, Massimo Dutti and Bershka.

Inditex has also announced plans of introducing its online offering for the brand Zara in selective markets such as UK, France and Spain.
