The end of an iconic store: The first Zara gives way to a supermarket
Zara's first store in La Coruna, opened on May 9, 1975, is permanently closed and in place will operate a Dia chain supermarket. The historic store of 300 square meters, founded by Amancio Ortega, no longer responded to the modern Inditex strategy. The company records an upward trend of 40 billion euros in 2025 and implements a restructuring plan with fewer but larger stores. The 11 workers were moved to other places, while Zara now operates a new 2,000-square-metre store in the same town.
