CN: Global Apparel Retailer UNIQLO to Open New Stores in Ontario and Quebec This Spring

Mar 19, 2025

Japanese global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the planned opening of four new stores in Canada in the coming season. With growing customer affinity for LifeWear, the brand is well-positioned to enter Burlington, Toronto, Quebec City and Montreal before the fall 2025 season, making UNIQLO accessible to even more Canadians. Following this wave of new store openings in spring 2025, UNIQLO will comprise 33 Canadian locations.

This season, UNIQLO is set to open its first store in Quebec City, bringing LifeWear to even more customers in Quebec. Yuya Tanahashi, Chief Operating Officer of UNIQLO in Canada, credits the rapid growth of UNIQLO to its continued community focused approach. "We are very grateful to our patrons  in Canada and look forward to fostering more meaningful relationships with new customers. I am optimistic about our Canadian growth, and we look forward to bringing LifeWear to new markets."

The new UNIQLO stores opening in Spring/Summer 2025 are:

Maple View Shopping Centre (Burlington, Ontario)
Place Ste-Foy (Quebec City, Quebec)
Galeries d'Anjou (Montréal, Québec)
Union Station (Toronto, Ontario)
 

Since opening its first location in Toronto in 2016, the brand has offered a unique guest experience with its innovative lineup of LifeWear—simple, high-quality, everyday clothing thoughtfully crafted with life's needs in mind and constantly evolving to modern life. Through the lens of innovation, LifeWear is designed to make everyone's life better.

The new UNIQLO stores will offer the current lineup of LifeWear apparel for men, women, kids, and babies, seasonal collaborations, and the UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) range of graphic T-shirts and other items. As with elsewhere in the world, the new stores are part of a UNIQLO global business model that seamlessly combines its retail stores' world-class shopping and service experience with the complementary convenience of its uniqlo.com online store.

With the success of UNIQLO's viral products, designer collaborations, and their recent appointment of Clare Waight Keller as Creative Director, the brand has gained global popularity. UNIQLO continues to evolve its world-class retail experience as it opens in new markets and communities throughout Canada.

Today UNIQLO has more than 2,500 stores worldwide, including 29 stores in Canada and online at UNIQLO.com. Since opening its first store in Hiroshima in 1984, UNIQLO has created apparel that comes from the Japanese values of simplicity, quality, and longevity, featuring universal designs, supreme fit and comfort to improve the daily lives of its customers.
