Uniqlo is set to open a new store in Liverpool One next Spring as it ramps up its regional expansion in the UK.
The 1,430 sq m store will sit across two floors and stock its LifeWear range across mens, womens, kids and babies.
It is the latest opening as Uniqlo, which has 20 stores in the UK, ramps up its expansion in the country by targeting regional cities.
Uniqlo UK chief operating officer Alessandro Dudech said: “As Uniqlo continues to expand across the UK, we are dedicated to selecting the best locations to host our brand.
“Investing in Liverpool, a leading UK shopping destination was a natural next step, and Liverpool One was the obvious choice, given the unique opportunity to open a prominent, showstopping space on Paradise Street.
