Uniqlo heads north

Uniqlo will open its next Queensland store on the Gold Coast at Pacific Fair Shopping Centre next month.

The store is set to span 1094sqm and will offer the Japanese retailer's full offering of mens, womens and kids apparel and accessories.

The opening will roll out as part of Pacific Fair's major redevelopment which will see a $670 million overhaul and introduction of new brands joining its retail portfolio.

Uniqlo Australia CEO believes that Queensland is a critical region for its growth strategy.

“We are thrilled to bring Uniqlo to Gold Coast residents and for them to experience our product offering.

“We’ve seen a very positive response by Queenslanders to our range of clothing and accessories so far and we’re confident that shoppers in the Gold Coast will fall in love with the brand too.”

Uniqlo operates 11 stores across the country and two in Queensland at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and Queen St Mall in Brisbane CBD.
