Scheduled to open in autumn/winter 2024 to 2025, the Texas stores are part of a broader plan that includes 11 new stores across Texas and California. 

In December 2023, the retailer announced its plan to open more than 20 stores across North America during 2024. 

Its growth strategy focuses on both strengthening its presence in regions where the brand is already established and entering new markets.

UNIQLO USA CEO Yoshihide Shindo said: “We are thrilled to be coming to Texas, a state where we have seen positive customer demand and where UNIQLO LifeWear products can perfectly serve the needs of the various lifestyles and climates throughout Houston and Dallas.
