Zara Owner Inditex Eyes US Market For Next Growth Phase (AI-generated with File inputs) Fast fashion giant Inditex is investing in the US as a key growth market for its next phase of growth. Inditex CEO Oscar Garcia Maceiras told Reuters Zara is planning to open new stores and revamp existing outlets to attract more aspirational ?buyers/consumers. Zara store openings are planned in Denver, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh. Inditex also aims to bring its upscale Massimo Dutti brand and Gen Z-focused Bershka brand to New York following their initial Miami launches. The US is Inditex's second-largest market after Spain, while the broader Americas region contributed 17.9% of its €19.8 billion first-half 2026 sales. The Zara owner plans 20 US expansion projects by the end of 2027. Inditex's expansion in the US has been gradual with the retailer using online orders to gauge demand in each city before opening stores. "The US, due to the population, due to the level of relevance, is attracting a lot of interest," Garcia Maceiras said in an interview in London, adding that Inditex is focused on "selective growth" and ?ensuring each store is profitable. The Spanish Fashion Group has transformed since the pandemic, with an uptick in sales while reducing its global store count as it prioritises larger flagship locations.
