Spain’s Inditex Group, the largest clothing retailer in the global market, has announced the temporary closure of all stores in Israel amid an ongoing military campaign.
“Our franchisees have been informing customers about the store closures through our brands’ websites,” commented the press office.
It is reported that all stores operated by Inditex Group franchisees in Israel will remain closed to the public until the country stabilizes. The company has promised to extend the return periods by 20 days from the new opening date.
As of the third quarter of 2023, the Inditex Group’s retail network in Israel includes 84 stores under the Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Zara Home and Bershka brands with locations in the country’s major business centers.
Other international brands are continuing to operate in Israel as normal. H&M reported that the work of stores has not yet been suspended, but the delivery terms of goods from the online store may be increased. Spanish fashion brand Mango has temporarily stopped accepting orders on its website.
