Global clothing giant UNIQLO has exciting news for Polish fashion enthusiasts: the renowned retailer is set to unveil its inaugural permanent store in Poland. Nestled within the bustling Westfield Arkadia shopping center in Warsaw, the new establishment, dubbed UNIQLO ARKADIA, is poised to welcome its inaugural wave of customers come fall 2024. Spanning an expansive sales floor of approximately 1,300 square meters, UNIQLO ARKADIA will showcase the complete spectrum of LifeWear offerings, catering to men, women, kids, and infants alike.
This milestone follows the triumph of UNIQLO’s previous venture in the Polish capital—a successful pop-up endeavor christened UNIQLO Wars Sawa Junior, which made its debut in September 2022.
Expressing his enthusiasm for this pivotal expansion, Taku Morikawa, CEO of UNIQLO Europe, remarked, “We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter of UNIQLO’s presence in Poland, extending our signature range of versatile and essential garments to an even broader audience in Warsaw. Our foray with the pop-up store at Wars Sawa Junior provided valuable insight into the resonance of our LifeWear ethos, deeply rooted in Japanese principles of quality, durability, and elegance. It’s a profound privilege to establish our inaugural permanent store in Poland, particularly within a city as culturally rich and forward-thinking as Warsaw—a sentiment that resonates harmoniously with our brand ethos.
Expanding its footprint across Europe, UNIQLO remains committed to making its LifeWear apparel accessible to an ever-growing clientele. Spring 2024 marked the inauguration of regional flagship stores in two vibrant cities, Rome and Edinburgh. Furthermore, the company introduced fresh UNIQLO outlets in central London, Nice, and Milan, further diversifying its presence on the continent. With the addition of these five establishments, UNIQLO’s network now spans 76 stores across 10 European markets.
