"Becoming part of the Inditex distribution group is a huge benefit for Zara; being aligned with fashion houses like Massimo Dutti and Stradivarius opens up diverse markets for Zara and places it in company of high regard. From an operational standpoint, Inditex is present in 96 markets in all five continents, with more than 7,000 stores, so this certainly represents significant opportunity for Zara to continue growing its market share."
