Uniqlo has today announced it will be opening a new 15,392 sq ft store at the Liverpool ONE shopping centre – located on Paradise Street – in spring 2025, as its UK retail expansion continues.
It will follow on from the recent reopening of Uniqlo’s Westfield White City store earlier this month, which had undergone 10 months of renovation.
Uniqlo also opened a new 8,611 sq ft store across three floors at Coal Drops Yard in London’s Kings Cross last month, as well as stores at One Oxford Street in London and 64 Princes Street in Edinburgh last April.
Speaking about the new Liverpool ONE opening, the COO of Uniqlo UK, Alessandro Dudech, said: “As Uniqlo continues to expand across the UK, we are dedicated to selecting the best locations to host our brand.
“Investing in Liverpool, a leading UK shopping destination, was a natural next step, and Liverpool ONE was the obvious choice given the unique opportunity to open a prominent showstopping space on Paradise Street.
“We are excited to continue to open into new cities and introduce our Lifewear offering to the people of Liverpool for the first time, and look forward to connecting with our new customers during spring next year.”
Rob Deacon, Director of Asset Management at Liverpool ONE owner Grosvenor, commented: “Uniqlo is yet another international fashion powerhouse taking a showcase space on Liverpool ONE’s Paradise Street.
“Creating a bold, compelling hub of best-in-class international brands has long been our strategy, playing to the needs and wants of our diverse mix of domestic and international visitors, and we are thrilled to be welcoming Uniqlo to Liverpool for the first time.”
Uniqlo currently has 20 stores in the UK. Further details regarding the new Liverpool ONE store, including promotional launch campaigns, will be “announced at a later date”.
Earlier this month, Fast Retailing, the Japanese conglomerate which owns Uniqlo, J Brand and Theory, published record annual results with turnover topping 3 trillion yen for the first time, and operating profits surpassing 500 billion yen – largely driven by Uniqlo’s global growth.
