Uniqlo set to come to Hai Phong

Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo plans to open its first store in the northern city of Hai Phong this summer.

It will be a 2,000-square-meter outlet at Aeon Mall Le Chan.

Uniqlo, which came to the Vietnamese market two years ago, now has 10 stores in Hanoi and HCMC.

Globally, it has over 2,300 in 25 countries and territories.

German research firm Statista estimates Vietnam’s fashion industry to grow at an average annual rate of 22.5 percent in 2017-22 to reach US$988 million.
