Uniqlo ramps up expansion in Canada
Uniqlo is increasing its store footprint up north.
The Japanese apparel retailer said it will open four stores in Canada this fall. The total includes three locations in the greater Toronto area, at Vaughan Mills, CF Markville and Square One Shopping Centre, and a store in British Columbia, at Coquitlam Centre, Coquitlam.
The largest of the new stores to open in the Toronto market will be at Vaughan Mills, with a sales floor of more than 20,000 sq. ft. all on one floor. The Uniqlo stores at CF Markville and Square One Shopping Centre will measure approximately 15,000 sq. ft. and be located on one floor. The Coquitlam Centre outpost will occupy more than 12,000 sq. ft.
With the opening of the four sites, Uniqlo will have nine stores in Canada. The company currently has 47 U.S. locations.
