In which country is Zara headquartered?

Zara is headquartered in Spain. Its head office is in Arteixo, in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, in northwestern Spain.

The company began in nearby A Coruña, where Amancio Ortega and Rosalía Mera opened the first Zara shop in 1975. As the business expanded, its main corporate and logistics operations developed in Arteixo, just outside the city. Zara is the flagship retail brand of Inditex, the Spanish group that also owns brands such as Bershka, Pull&Bear and Massimo Dutti.

A common mix-up is to name A Coruña as Zara’s headquarters. A Coruña is the brand’s birthplace and the location of its first store, while the head office is in the nearby municipality of Arteixo. Spain is therefore the canonical country-level answer.
