Uniqlo opens largest mall store

Japanese brand Uniqlo will open its new Paramus, New Jersey store at Westfield Garden State Plaza tomorrow, September 28.

At 43,000 sqft, the Uniqlo Westfield Garden State Plaza store will be its largest mall store in the world and will serve as the prototype for its many planned future US mall locations.

“Friday will be a very special day for Uniqlo as we open our doors to New Jersey. At Uniqlo, it is important for us to be a responsible neighbour in the communities we operate in, and to improve the world through our clothing,” said Uniqlo US CEO Shin Odake.

Uniqlo Westfield Garden State Plaza comprises two floors with a separate street entrance on the main level in addition to the mall entrance. At each entrance area, Uniqlo shoppers will be welcomed by two large LCD monitor walls that can be seen from outside both entryways.

Illuminated glass display windows will house mannequins featuring the latest products. The complete offering includes men’s and women’s basics, Heattech, Premium Ultra Light Down, an array of colorful cashmere, and the new Uniqlo kids and babies collection.

This will be the company’s fourth US retail location with its fifth scheduled to open on October 5 in San Francisco.
