Uniqlo to open new stores in London and Edinburgh in spring 2024
Uniqlo has announced it will open a new 16,502 sq ft London store within the One Oxford Street development next to Tottenham Court Road tube station, and a 15,392 sq ft store on Princes Street in Edinburgh – its first in Scotland - in spring 2024.
The high street apparel retailer opened a new store in London’s Covent Garden in April 2023, and the new London and Edinburgh stores will take its UK store count to 19.
Alessandro Dudech, COO of Uniqlo UK, said: “We are excited to take this next big step in the UK’s expansion plans with two new stores in spring 2024. It’s an honour to be opening in not only a new city but a new country (for us).
“Edinburgh is a city of great cultural and historical heritage, we have many existing Scottish customers who shop through our e-commerce site, and Edinburgh has such a strong footfall from both locals and tourists.
“Alongside this, we look forward to bringing LifeWear to even more Londoners and visitors to the city with the opening of our One Oxford Street store in this new vibrant location. Uniqlo is proud to be expanding our presence in these important retail locations.”
Last month it was announced that Fast Retailing, the parent company of Uniqlo, Theory and GU, saw revenues rise by 20.2% for the fiscal year ending 31 August 2023, with Uniqlo achieving “record annual performance” for the third consecutive year.
