We have been listening to our customers in these regions, where we have seen strong interest from E-commerce, and look forward to bringing them the full UNIQLO LifeWear experience when we open our doors this Fall/Winter.”

Founded in Japan in 1984, UNIQLO prioritizes simplicity, quality, and universal design as it continues to grow globally, targeting 200 stores in North America by 2027.

Since opening its first North American location in the U.S. in 2005, UNIQLO has offered a unique customer experience with its innovative lineup of LifeWear, clothing that is designed to make everyone’s life better. It is simple, high-quality, everyday clothing, thoughtfully crafted with life’s needs in mind and is constantly evolving to fit modern life. With rising brand awareness in the U.S., UNIQLO North America turned a profit in fiscal year 2022, followed by significant growth for the fiscal year ending on August 31, 2023.

UNIQLO continues to strengthen its global popularity and persists in building deeper connections with customers through its designer collaborations, viral products like the round mini-shoulder bag, community partnerships, RE.UNIQLO circularity program, and convenient in-store services, including alterations and self-checkout.

UNIQLO was founded in Hiroshima, Japan in 1984 when Tadashi Yanai – now one of the world’s most successful business leaders – took over his father’s suiting store, transforming it to unisex casualwear made for all. Since opening its first store, originally called “Unique Clothing Warehouse,” UNIQLO has created apparel that comes from the Japanese values of simplicity, quality, and longevity, featuring universal designs, supreme fit and comfort to improve the daily lives of its customers.
