Two huge new stores at Birmingham Bullring are opening and shoppers say 'perfect'

The Bullring has issued a huge update ahead of two new fashion stores opening at the shopping centre ahead of Christmas . BirminghamLive reported in April that Zara was set to open two new stores inside the Bullring. And now an opening date for both stores has been confirmed - and there isn't long for shoppers to wait.

Both new Zara stores inside the Bullring are set to open to shoppers on Thursday, November 14 - the day after US beauty brand Sephora is due to open. Currently Zara women and children is based across three floors on the corner of New Street, outside the Bullring, while Zara men is across the road. But the Inditex fashion brand is relocating inside the Bullring taking over two empty units.
