We told last year how the popular retailer was moving from its previous space into the old Debenhams unit in the heart of the centre.
The new shop spans a whopping 47,000 sq ft – making it one of its biggest stores in the country.
The new space is twice the size of its old Silverburn store and is spread across two floors.
And it will also have an expanded range of womenswear, menswear and childrenswear.
The unit has been transformed with a whole new façade and flagship design that features Zara’s latest store concept and integrated online services.
David Pierotti, General Manager of Silverburn, told how staff were excited to see the first shoppers come through the doors.
It was fantastic to see the first customers step through the doors, and we look forward to welcoming even more in the months ahead
