Bluewater centre director James Waugh said: “We’re thrilled that Uniqlo will be expanding and relocating to a larger store within the centre.

“Having built a loyal following here for well over a decade, we’re sure the new-look store will be a big hit with Bluewater guests.”

Back in April, Uniqlo opened a new store in Covent Garden with its sister brand, Theory.

The move made the shopping hub the second UK retail location to host both Uniqlo and Theory under one roof.
