Uniqlo, the Japan-based designer casual wear manufacturer and retailer, announced to launch a new flagship store in Los Angeles.
The new store will be launched in the fall/winter. The store will be more denim-centric and the first of its kind in the city.
The new concept shop will be the 47th Uniqlo store in the U.S. and the ninth in Los Angeles.
Uniqlo is strategically moving beyond its reputation as retailer of fashion basics and now focusing on L.A.’s heritage and roots in denim.
The customers while entering the store will also be introduced to the brand’s heritage in Japanese textile innovation, showcasing the research and development that comes from Fast Retailing’s Jeans Innovation Center through visuals and prototypes.
Hiroshi Taki, CEO, Uniqlo USA said, “We are very excited to bring Uniqlo denim to L.A. in a new and interactive way.”
Uniqlo has more than 1,900 stores in 19 markets worldwide including Japan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, U.K. and the U.S.
In addition, Grameen UNIQLO, a social business established in Bangladesh back in September 2010, operates several Grameen UNIQLO stores in Dhaka.
