Fast-fashion retailer expanding further into Canada

Uniqlo is set to open its third location in Canada.



The Japanese retail giant will open a two-level, 20,630-sq. ft. store at Metropolis at Metrotown, Burnaby, this fall. It will be Uniqlo’s first location in British Columbia, with the retailer’s other two Canadian stores in Toronto.



“The launch of Uniqlo in British Columbia represents another major milestone for us, as Canada continues to be an important focus for the company globally. This country's cultural and climatic diversity represents the perfect platform for Uniqlo and our philosophy of LifeWear,” said Yasuhiro Hayashi, COO of Uniqlo Canada.



Uniqlo, a division of Fast Retailing, operates some 1,800 stores around the globe.
