Good news in the fashion sector: The Zara chain is preparing to open stores located in the open areas. This was after the government last weekend decided to ease the opening of businesses, including street shops, due to data indicating a decline in corona morbidity in Israel.   

Lazara has stores in the open complexes of Sderot Avenue in Jerusalem, across from the Village Beach in Hadera and the Big Fashan complex in Nazareth. Most of Zara's activity is concentrated in malls. Among the shops located in the malls are the Ramat Aviv Mall, the Azrieli Mall in Tel Aviv, the Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv, the seafront in Eilat, the big mall in Petah Tikva, the Ayalon Mall in Ramat Gan, the Golden Mall in Rishon Lezion and more. Please note that during this period the app and sales site are active. 

Mazara Israel said that "Zara is preparing to open the stores in open areas, according to the new regulations, and will open after meeting all requirements."

In the meantime, many fashion companies incorporated in the "Fashion and Trade Association" have decided, despite the relief, not to open their doors tomorrow. These include the following: Fox, Llynn, American Eagle, Eitz & Am, Hiker, Eitz & O, Optica Halperin, Iruka, Mango, Naot Teva, Hamashbir Consumer and Golf.     

Last week, the association called on all retail companies to launch a general strike. A letter sent to many network executives in Israel reads: "We, the members of the Action Committee who have been leading the most fateful fight for retailers in the last 30 years, inform you that after marathon discussions and tough deliberations, we unanimously made the following decision: Without a government safety net, you will only deepen the heavy losses and pit we have fallen into.

We urge all fashion and trade chains to start a general strike and close their doors until our minimum government assistance, as presented in great detail at a meeting with the Prime Minister, is fully accepted. "
