Fashion giant Zara is implementing significant changes to its operations in Israel, including the closure of several physical stores and the discontinuation of free online shipping. The Zara branch at Azrieli Mall in Be'er Sheva and the Zara Home store at Ayalon Mall have recently closed. Concurrently, the fashion group has ended its policy of offering free delivery for online orders exceeding 199 shekels, except during end-of-season sales periods when a delivery fee was already applied.

Now, all online orders from Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti, and Stradivarius will incur a flat delivery fee of 14.90 shekels, regardless of the purchase amount. The most substantial change is seen on the Zara Home website, where the delivery fee has increased to 49.90 shekels. This higher cost for Zara Home deliveries, compared to the other brands in the group, could impact the affordability of smaller orders.

The physical footprint of Zara Home has also shrunk with the closure of its Ayalon Mall location. The remaining Zara Home stores are located at TLV Mall, Ramat Aviv Mall, and the Big Galilot complex.
