Saturday trading is one of the clearest commercial distinctions at BIG Fashion Glilot (ביג פאשן גלילות). The center trades from 10:00 to 23:00 on Saturday, a full daytime window that Ramat Aviv Mall and TLV Fashion Mall do not offer, since they open only after Shabbat ends. Seven Stars in Herzliya trades on Saturday as well, so the advantage runs against the Tel Aviv centers rather than the whole northern market, and individual stores at Glilot keep their own Shabbat policy.
BIG Shopping Centers opened the property at the Glilot interchange on 27 February 2025, laid out as two parallel open high streets joined by three plazas rather than as an enclosed mall. A 45 floor office tower rises above the retail, and BIG keeps its own headquarters on the 26th floor of that tower.
Inditex runs an unusually deep line-up here. Zara operates its largest Israeli store, with Zara Home, Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear and Stradivarius alongside it, and both Oysho and the Israeli house Maskit entered the country through this center. Factory 54 holds separate fashion and beauty units plus a café, Polo Ralph Lauren and BOSS carry the premium fashion line, and CHANEL trades as a fragrance and beauty boutique rather than a fashion store. SKIMS, Alo Yoga and lululemon sit alongside them, and Zeekr adds an automotive showroom to a mix otherwise built on fashion, sport and beauty.
Routes 2 and 5 meet at the interchange, which spreads the catchment across the northern suburbs and up the coastal plain instead of confining it to Ramat HaSharon. That overlaps the trade areas of Ramat Aviv Mall and Seven Stars. Road access is the documented operational constraint: the opening weekend drew roughly 150,000 visitors and produced severe congestion around the interchange and delays leaving the car parks.
