Conceived and developed by the Zara Architecture Studio, the store’s interior is accented with neutral tones and natural textiles that create a clean backdrop for customers to visit each section. Customer service is a pillar of the project. Zara is focused on providing all customers, wherever they are, with a seamless shopping experience that integrates the stores with the Zara online platform to interact with the brand anytime, from any device.

Zara at CambridgeSide offers customer-friendly features such as real-time browsing of in-store inventory and the ability to locate items effortlessly. Additionally, customers can place online orders for in-store pickup within just two hours. The store is designed with cutting-edge solutions to elevate the shopping experience, including an online order pickup silo and an assisted self-checkout area.

The store also features a cardboard collection point, encouraging customers to recycle packaging responsibly, alongside a clothing collection container to extend the useful life of pre-owned garments.
