After working on the site for over a year, the new three-storey Zara store inside Trinity has officially opened its doors.
And we've got to say, it looks absolutely amazing.
The new 46,000 sq ft space on Briggate is spread across three floors and was previously home to Topshop until 2021.
The new store features Zara’s woman, man, and kids collections and showcases the latest technological innovations from Zara’s integrated online and physical store platform.

The move is part of an optimisation plan from Zara’s parent group Inditex, which encompasses bigger, better and more beautiful stores in the best retail destinations globally.

Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “It’s been years in the making but the new Zara store is most definitely worth the wait. A huge amount of work has been going on behind the scenes to get to this point, and we’re sure guests will be impressed with this incredible new addition to Trinity Leeds.
“Zara is a huge name in retail and it speaks volumes that they’ve chosen to snap up a prime spot in such an iconic retail location in the heart of the city centre.”

Zara follows a number of brands that have recently joined the line-up at Trinity Leeds shopping centre, including Nike: Rise, Jack & Jones, Five Guys and Knoops.
The doors officially opened this morning at 9am, with flocks of exciting shoppers awaiting to make their first purchase.
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley very soon.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok girlies, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.m
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and although we don't have a confirmed opening date we've got a feeling they'll be 'scooping' very soon.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
