Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo is set to open its doors in Sydney this spring/summer.

The store will be located at the heart of Pitt Street Mall – Sydney’s most popular shopping and fashion precinct.

The Sydney store will take over the full first floor of the MidCity shopping centre. It will be a premium large-scale outlet with a sales floor of nearly 1485 sqm, offering a wide range of men’s, women’s, kids’ and babies’ clothes.

“Australians have really embraced Uniqlo and its ‘LifeWear’ philosophy, both in Melbourne and through the online store. Opening in Sydney was always the next logical expansion across the Australian market,” said Shoichi Miyasaka, CEO of Uniqlo Australia.

Uniqlo says it views Australia as a key market in the Asia and Oceania region, and remains focused on continuing its growth in the country.

The Sydney location’s announcement follows a strong response to its first Australian store, which opened in Melbourne last month.
