The Inditex-owned fashion retailer has entered the UK with a two-floor Liverpool flagship, extending Landsec’s relationship with the group and introducing its latest in-store technology.
Landsec has welcomed the first Lefties store in the UK to Liverpool ONE, marking the international fashion brand’s debut in the UK market.
Owned by parent group Inditex, Lefties has opened a 27,000 sq ft flagship on South John Street at Liverpool ONE, spanning two floors. The store carries women’s, men’s, teen, kids, baby and newborn collections alongside home, accessories and footwear.
The flagship also incorporates some of Lefties’ latest retail technology, already introduced at recent European openings. Features include robotic hanger sorters and radio-frequency identification self-checkouts, removing the need for customers to scan each item separately.
Liverpool ONE welcomes 33 million visitors each year, with its audience spanning local shoppers, students, domestic visitors and international tourists.
“Lefties making its UK debut at Liverpool ONE is a significant milestone for the destination and highlights its continued appeal to retailers looking to establish themselves in the UK market.
“Lefties’ arrival builds on our long-standing relationship with Inditex and the success of its existing brands at Liverpool ONE. It also reflects the confidence global retailers have in the destination’s ability to deliver the scale, visibility and highly engaged customer base needed to support long-term growth.”
