UNIQLO to open Macquarie Centre store later this year
A second New South Wales UNIQLO store has been announced, this time for the Macquarie Centre. It follows their May announcement that their first Sydney store will be in Pitt Street Mall.
The Macquarie Centre, North Ryde store, which will be 1,514 square metres, looks to take advantage of the current $440 million redevelopment of the centre that will house 130 stores.
UNIQLO’s store will include their apparel, including their spring/summer 2014 collection, including men’s, women’s, children and baby wear.
They have recently announced the opening of their second Victorian store, in Chadstone Shopping Centre. Both this, and the Pitt Street Mall store, will open in late-2014.
Their first Australian store was opened in April at Emporium Melbourne.
Shoichi Miyasaka CEO of UNIQLO Australia said that growing the brand in Australia is important.
UNIQLO opened their first store in Singapore in 2009, Malaysia and Taiwan in 2010, Thailand in 2011, the Philippines in 2012 and Indonesia in 2013.
Most recently, H&M also announced that they would be opening their first Sydney store in the Macquarie Centre.
