Zara owner Inditex is pushing ahead with European expansion plans for its discount brand Lefties. The budget fashion chain will launch in four prime locations in the United Kingdom next year. The Netherlands, France, and Germany are also on the agenda.

First stop

In 2026, Lefties will open four stores in strategic locations in London and Southeast England: Oxford Street, Westfield London, Lakeside (Essex), and Bluewater (Kent). Each store will be approximately 1,800 square meters in size and designed according to the chain’s new flagship store concept. This was reported by the Bloomberg news agency. With the United Kingdom as its first stop, Lefties is preparing further steps in Europe: next year, the chain also wants to make progress in France, the Netherlands, and Germany.
