Uniqlo to open Boston flagship

New York -- Uniqlo is coming to Boston.



The Japanese fast-fashion retailer will open its first permanent store in the city, a two-level, 12,000-sq.-ft. flagship in Faneuil Hall Marketplace in October.



In a nod to its surroundings, the store will feature heavy earth tones, wood, and brick with the original walls of the structure exposed. Open ceilings will highlight the building’s original wood trusses.



Uniqlo said the wood flooring in the store will "respect the time period of the initial floor, and brick walls will include visual vitrines containing historic pictures of Faneuil Hall."



Currently, Uniqlo operates a pop-up store in the complex’s Quincy Market building.
