Inditex’s fifth ‘for&from’ fashion store in Elche

The new Tempe Outlet in Elche, Spain, opened is Inditex’s fifth “for&from” store, a project in which retail establishments are staffed by people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.

Attending the store launch were Angélica Such, Councillor for Social Welfare for the Valencian Regional Government, and Elche Mayor Alejandro Soler. The new shop is located in the Elche Industrial Park, which also houses Tempe’s headquarters and its largest distribution hub. Tempe designs, manufactures and distributes footwear and accessories for Inditex’s eight retail formats (Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home and Uterqüe). The shop is the fifth Inditex establishment and the second Tempe location in the “for&from” project, following an opening in July in Allariz (Ourense, Spain).

Tempe and APSA (Alicante Association for the Mentally Handicapped) are working together on this project to encourage disabled individuals to join the workforce. The establishment’s numerous technical features facilitate access to any customer with a disability. When designing the store, Tempe was advised by Fundosa Accesibilidad (ONCE Foundation). Tempe Outlet sells footwear and accessories of previous seasons of all eight Inditex concepts at discounted prices.
