Zara is expanding its store fleet in the US as it ramps up in its second-largest market.

The Spanish fast-fashion retailer is planning 30 new store "projects" in the US over the next two years, including new stores, store relocations, and renovations to existing locations, Óscar García Maceiras, CEO of Zara's parent company, Inditex, said during a call with investors Wednesday.

Inditex currently has "less than 100 stores" in the US. "This is a market in which for every $100 of fashion sold, we take less than $0.50 of that," García Maceiras said. "So, we see really very strong growth opportunities."

Foot traffic is up at Zara stores around the world, and Inditex reported a 23% jump in store sales in 2022 across its portfolio of brands, which includes Zara, Bershka, and Massimo Dutti. García Maceiras said that increase came even as Inditex shuttered 10% of its stores — though a portion of the closures were in Russia, and its Ukraine stores remain closed, the rest of the closures were part of the retailer's "retail optimization program," he said.

"As a result, we have been left with a network of bigger, better and more beautiful stores in the best retail destinations globally," he said. "These destination stores, fully digital and sustainable, provide the customer with a good reason to visit us, and they sell 60 more per square meter compared to 2019 and 30% more per store."
