The Gulliver shopping center has officially announced the reopening of stores belonging to one of the world’s leading fashion retailers. Starting today, key brands of the Inditex group—Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Oysho, and Zara Home—are once again available to visitors.
The return of these brands is an important step toward restoring the shopping and entertainment center’s full-fledged fashion offering. For visitors, this means the return of familiar and beloved stores to a well-known location in the heart of the capital.
The resumption of cooperation with international retailers became possible after the property’s legal status was stabilized. Since July 2025, the shopping and entertainment center has been owned by Oschadbank and Ukreximbank due to the previous owner’s failure to meet its credit obligations. In October 2025, the court lifted the seizure of the property, after which the complex came under the management of state-owned banks.
“The reopening of Inditex stores at Gulliver is a clear indicator of confidence in the new landlord. Transparency of ownership and predictability of terms are key factors for global business. Today, we provide exactly these conditions, and it is paying off. We are pleased to see that world-class brands are betting on Gulliver and Kyiv shoppers,” said Arsen Milyutin, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Oschadbank, responsible for NPL operations.
The Inditex Group is a leading global Spanish fashion retailer and one of the world’s largest fashion manufacturers and distributors, managing brands such as Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara, and Zara Home.
