The Spanish group Inditex, the owner of Zara, has started hiring in Romania for the new brand it is introducing to the local market, its Lefties brand of low-priced products. The new store will be opened in the Promenada mall in Craiova.
The brand was founded in 1999 as a way to get rid of Zara clothes from the previous season. The launch in Craiova represents a first not only in Romania, but also in the CEE region.
NEPI Rockcastle will inaugurate, in October of this year, Promenada Craiova, which will include over 150 shops. The Promenada Craiova shopping area will have an area of 78,500 sqm, of which the new shopping center will occupy 62,500 sqm, and the Dedeman store, 16,000 sqm. The project will be inaugurated in the fourth quarter of 2023, in October, with a total investment of over EUR 125 million.
