The upcoming openings will build on Uniqlo’s ambitious growth plan to reach 200 stores in North America by 2027, focusing on regions with existing brand presence and new markets across the country. The brand currently has 74 locations across North America.
“We are thrilled to be coming to Texas, a state where we have seen positive customer demand and where UniqloLifeWear products can perfectly serve the needs of the various lifestyles and climates throughout Houston and Dallas,” said Yoshihide Shindo, CEO, Uniqlo USA. “In addition to this incredibly momentous step for UNIQLO in the U.S. and for our business globally, we are also furthering our commitment to the West Coast. We have been listening to our customers in these regions, where we have seen strong interest from E-commerce, and look forward to bringing them the full Uniqlo LifeWear experience when we open our doors this Fall/Winter.”
