It’s, unfortunately, time to say goodbye to a major Zara location in downtown Toronto. The Zara at 50 Bloor Street West will be closing after operating for around 22 years. 

According to Retail Insider, the spot will shutter at the end of this month.

The closing Zara location is two floors, which once was split between men’s and women’s fashion until a recent change to strictly womenswear throughout. 

Occupying over 10,000 square feet, it’s definitely worth it to browse the racks one last time.

Plus, the retailer just had a massive sale, so you may be able to even snag some deals.

The fast-fashion brand has always been a staple shopping destination for low-priced basics, as well as ultra-trendy apparel, footwear, and accessories. 

Even though you may no longer be able to shop around at the Yorkville location, you can definitely check out some other Zara stores in the city.

These include a storefront on Queen Street West and the CF Toronto Eaton Centre, and of course, if you don’t want to leave the house, you can make a purchase online!

Zara has never shied away from “borrowing” ideas from designers, in fact, turning looks is how the fast fashion retailer makes its money. While you could technically say they’re stealing ideas, I’m definitely not mad about it and you shouldn’t be either!

Thanks to the business model, us common folk can stay on trend, dress to the nines, and, most importantly, save money. Take the new Zara Collection for example: there are more than a few things that look incredibly similar if not identical to their runway counterparts. Some of these dupes even had me doing a double take!

Check out 9 of the best designer dupes from Zara under $200 that you’ll want to get your hands on sooner rather than later.
