The Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo is about to open two Toronto outlets in the fall of 2016. They will be located in the high-end environment of Yorkdale Shopping Centre and the Toronto Eaton Centre. Uniqlo is an international clothing retailer with 1,500 stores already in Japan, Australia, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the U.K. and the U.S. The U.S. CEO Larry Meyer is quoted as saying: “Uniqlo is growing and I thought — we all thought — that Canada was a terrific market, especially starting in Toronto, It’s in reasonable proximity to our New York City flagship store on 5th (Ave.) and we thought it would be a natural expansion. Uniqlo sells clothes for men and women. Tokyo Girls (above) is among of its best known brands.
