Uniqlo ramps up UK expansion with raft of new store openings

Uniqlo has today confirmed the opening of three new stores across the UK this year including its highly-anticipated opening in Liverpool as well as in Glasgow and Birmingham.

Uniqlo confirmed the new store in Liverpool will open its doors to shoppers on April 24, 2025, at Liverpool One shopping centre.

Uniqlo said its new store will bring a “fresh perspective to Liverpool’s fashion landscape” as it houses popular services including the UTme! customisable t-shirt station and the repair, remake and recycle service Re.Uniqlo.

The fashion retailer is also set to open a new store on Argyle Street in Scotland, marking its second store following the opening of its store in Edinburgh last April.

A third new store is also set to open in Birmingham’s Bullring shopping centre on New Street.

Both the Glasgow and Birmingham store openings are expected to open this autumn and will feature Uniqlo’s LifeWear collections across all genders and ages.

Uniqlo UK chief operating officer Alessandro Dudech said: “Uniqlo continues to invest in the UK retail landscape, growing our store footprint and ecommerce across the nation.

“With this strategic next step, Uniqlo will open its doors to the locals who live in and around Glasgow and Birmingham, as well as the thousands of visitors to the cities. We are excited to offer LifeWear—clothing designed to last, born from the Japanese values of quality, simplicity and functionality to more customers.”

Hammerson director of leasing and commercialisation Paul O’Brien said: “Bullring continues to attract best-in-class global brands seeking a flagship presence in the region, reinforcing its position as the leading Midlands destination.

“Uniqlo is the latest brand to make a significant commitment to Bullring, reflecting the strength of our position, quality of the asset, and exceptional line-up of leading names in retail.”

The three new openings this year will bring Uniqlo’s total UK store estate to 23.
