The new stores will feature Uniqlo’s complete range of LifeWear clothing for all ages, including seasonal partnerships and the UT collection of graphic T-shirts.
Uniqlo Canada chief operating officer Yuya Tanahashi stated: “We are very grateful to our patrons in Canada and look forward to fostering more meaningful relationships with new customers. I am optimistic about our Canadian growth, and we look forward to bringing LifeWear to new markets.”
The outlets are part of Uniqlo’s global strategy, integrating in-store shopping experiences with the added convenience of its online store, uniqlo.com.
