Uniqlo will open its second Melbourne and first suburban store at Chadstone Shopping Centre.

The Chadstone store will span 1132sqm on Chadstone’s ground floor, and follows the opening of the first Australian Uniqlo store at Melbourne’s Emporium in April.

Uniqlo’s second store, at Sydney’s Mid City Centre in Pitt St Mall, is expected to open within three months, with Chadstone to open in October.

Australia is Uniqlo’s 16th market globally – bringing a new retail experience to Australia with uniquely Japanese style customer service and affordable high quality garments.

“Opening our first suburban Australian store at Victoria’s Fashion Capital is an exciting next step and a perfect fit for our brand,” said Shoichi Miyasaka, CEO of Uniqlo Australia.

“Chadstone is a brewing hub for Australian and international fashion, and we’re thrilled to join the precinct.”
