Uniqlo to open flagship store in Singapore

Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo is set to open its first global flagship store in Singapore and the Southeast Asia region at Orchard Road by the second half of this year.

The store, spanning across three levels at Orchard Central (a total area of 2,700 sqm), will generate more than 300 jobs here. It will be Uniqlo’s biggest outlet in Singapore and the region.

“We are very honoured, and excited, to open our first UNIQLO Global Flagship Store in Singapore. Having been a member of the local retail scene since 2009, we remain committed toward contributing to the local community and being an integral part of Singapore’s growth and future,” said Taku Morikawa, CEO of Uniqlo Southeast Asia.

Uniqlo fans can expect the flagship store to provide an extensive range of Uniqlo’s latest lines for women, men, kids and babies. The store will also serve as a platform to showcase the brand’s LifeWear collection.

There are currently 13 global flagship stores around the world, including cities such as New York, London, Paris and Shanghai.
