When will "Opening Soon" become "Open Now"? As seen here, here, here and here we're patiently awaiting the day when Zara's massive DTLA flagship at FIGat7th brings some friendly competition to fast fashion neighbor (and now open!) H&M. After several intel-gathering visits to the very buzzing Downtown retail and resto hub, we hear that the Spanish retailer is expected to open its 27,000-square-foot store in the next two weeks, and possibly before May 20. Yes!

Meanwhile on the second level, Bath & Body Works opened their doors last week, while fellow The Bloc expat Victoria's Secret is expected to debut sometime this spring. Looks like the former Macy's Plaza is gonna need to seriously up its shopping game. Stay tuned for more!
