Major brands to set up shop in Sydney

Shoppers in Sydney should get ready as a plethora of high-profile international retailers including Topshop from UK and Uniqlo from Japan are preparing to open up new stores.

Amid the high anticipation of the Spanish Zara brand opening in Westfield Sydney, Pitt Street Mall, next Wednesday, leasing directors from other overseas retailers are in Australia looking for sites.

But given the distance from their head offices in Spain, the US and UK, these big hitters will not just want to open one or two stores.
