Uniqlo to open second Australian store
Fashion retailer Uniqlo has announced plans to open its second store in Australia this summer.
The new shop in Sydney’s Mid City shopping centre follows the opening of the retailer’s first Australian store at the Pitt Street Mall in Melbourne last month.
Measuring 1,485 square metres, the Sydney store will span the entire first floor of the shopping centre and will stock the brand’s clothing ranges for men, women and children.
Shoichi Miyasaka, chief executive of Uniqlo Australia, said: “Australians have really embraced Uniqlo and its ‘LifeWear’ philosophy, both in Melbourne and through the online store. Opening in Sydney was always the next logical expansion across the Australian market.
Never Miss a Retail Update!“Our focus on and commitment to providing exemplary customer service has held us in good stead – and we are looking forward to offering Sydneysiders the full Uniqlo experience in store.”
Australia is Uniqlo’s 16th market globally. The openings follow Uniqlo store debuts in Singapore (2009), Malaysia (2010), Taiwan (2010), Thailand (2011), the Philippines (2012), and Indonesia (2013).
