Uniqlo Canada has announced four new stores, almost doubling its retail footprint within the country.

COO of Uniqlo Canada Yasuhiro Hayashi said the company was encouraged by the warm welcome the Japanese fast-fashion chain has received to date.

“We are thrilled to be opening three new stores in the Greater Toronto Area and a fourth new store in Greater Vancouver.”

The British Columbia location will open at Coquitlam Centre on September 14, while the rest will open in Ontario at Vaughan Mills on September 28; CF Markville on October 12; and Square One Shopping Centre on November 2.

Consumers outside Toronto and Vancouver can now shop Uniqlo Canada via a newly launched mobile e-commerce platform.

All Uniqlo Canada stores participate in a recycling initiative in which customers can drop off gently used Uniqlo clothing as donations for those in need.
