Lefties takes first physical steps into UK with Liverpool store

Inditex-owned Lefties has made its brick-and-mortar debut in the UK with a new store in Liverpool. The Spanish retailer occupied a 27,000 square foot space in Liverpool One, where, over two floors, it offers women’s, men’s, teen, kids, baby, newborn, home, accessories and footwear collections.

The flagship will also house a selection of retail technology present at the brand’s other European stores, such as its robotic hanger sorters and radio-frequency identification (RFID) self-checkouts.

The Liverpool opening marks the beginning of a wider UK rollout for Lefties, which confirmed plans to target the market last year through three retail sites, including one in Metrocentre, Gateshead, due to open in winter 2026.

The UK itself serves as the second stop on Lefties’ European roadmap, with the brand having already opened its debut French store earlier this year and revealing plans to also venture into the Netherlands and Germany.

For Liverpool One, the deal with Lefties extends the shopping centre’s relationship with Inditex, which has brought sister labels Zara, Bershka, Pull&Bear and Stradivarius to the site and has in turn experienced a level of success.

In a statement, Pablo Sueiras, head of retail and hospitality leasing at real estate group Landsec, said Lefties’ opening was a “significant milestone for the destination and highlights its continued appeal to retailers looking to establish themselves in the UK market”.

Sueiras continued: “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.”
