It will be a big moment for the company, and the megamall. The relocation from its current home on Upper High Street was announced last August in a drive to revive The Avenue, formerly Park Lane, after a string of closures.

Work on a flagship Frasers department store and Sports Direct in the former Debenhams at the end of the mall is ongoing.

Last month, Meadowhall boss Darren Pearce said: “The new Zara opening will be one of the biggest moments for us this year, and it’s fantastic to see the transformation is well underway.

“There’s a lot of hard work that goes into developing a store of this scale, and it’s certainly not an overnight job – but, with small changes every day, it’s an exciting reminder for us of what’s to come.”
