Zara Closes Its First-Ever Store in A Coruña After 50 Years

The company frames the move as part of its push toward fewer, larger multi‑format stores.

Overview

  • The Juan Flórez shop at 64–66 closed on 30 January 2026 after a final day that drew customers who came to say goodbye.
  • All 11 employees will be reassigned to Zara stores in A Coruña at Marineda City and Cuatro Caminos.
  • The 50th‑anniversary commemorative experience, including café service, shifts to the nearby Compostela flagship via the Zacaffè concept starting Saturday with direct access from Plaza de Mina.
  • At roughly 350 m², the site no longer fit Zara’s current format criteria, which favor expansive, multi‑floor flagships like the larger Compostela location that also houses El Apartamento.
  • Opened on 9 May 1975 by Amancio Ortega, the store evolved into a symbolic destination for visitors seeking the brand’s origins.
