UNIQLO, the renowned Japanese global apparel retailer, has announced its upcoming foray into Mumbai's dynamic retail scene with the opening of two eagerly anticipated stores. The brand's strategic expansion further solidifies its commitment to offering high-quality, versatile fashion options to the Indian market.

“We are committed to being an integral part of the Mumbai community”, said Tomohiko Sei, Chief Executive Officer, UNIQLO India. “Over the past few years, we have built a robust retail landscape in the North and we are now ready for our expansion in the West, making our LifeWear collection accessible to more customers in India. We are delighted to see the reaction received from our Mumbai announcement and recognize the anticipation of the city’s discerning customers. We are excited to add another store in Mumbai to offer our innovative and functional clothes that enrich the daily lives of people, as a reflection of our LifeWear philosophy,” he added.

The first of these launches is the UNIQLO Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla Mumbai store, scheduled to open its doors on October 6. Situated within the sprawling Phoenix Marketcity, Mumbai's largest shopping mall, this store is set to captivate fashion enthusiasts with its curated collection of UNIQLO's iconic LifeWear apparel. Boasting an extensive sales area spread across two floors – lower ground and ground – totaling approximately 11,500 square feet, the store is poised to redefine shopping experiences for Mumbai's discerning shoppers. UNIQLO's distinctive red color, as well as its energetic LED ticker displays, will prominently adorn the store's front, encapsulating the brand's contemporary and vibrant spirit.

Commenting on the announcement, Rashmi Sen, COO of the Phoenix Mills Ltd. said, “We are incredibly proud of the delightful inclusion of UNIQLO to our flagship mall, Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai. Having UNIQLO as part of the family will bring a trendsetting retail experience, inviting fashion enthusiasts to explore an extraordinary world of comfort, versatility, and elegance. Together, we are dedicated to giving our customers unrivalled fashion options and unique experiences.”

Not one to rest on its laurels, UNIQLO is set to inaugurate its second Mumbai store on October 20 – the UNIQLO Oberoi Mall, Goregaon. Positioned on the ground floor of Oberoi Mall, located in Goregaon East off the Western Express Highway, this store encompasses a sales area of approximately 7,500 square feet. Prominent branding will grace the store's entrance, welcoming shoppers into a modern and innovative shopping space that embodies UNIQLO's cutting-edge design ethos.

Speaking on the launch, Sameep Pathak, CEO, Oberoi Mall, said, “We are super thrilled to welcome, one of the most awaited global brands, UNIQLO to Oberoi Mall. Besides adding to the diverse brand offerings at the mall, the addition of this iconic casual wear brand will elevate the shopping experience for our customers, offering them a perfect blend of style, quality, and comfort. UNIQLO's presence at Oberoi Mall furthers our commitment in curating an exceptional retail destination and catering to the ever-evolving fashion and shopping preferences of our customers. Oberoi Mall has always endeavored to be the most preferred retail destination across segments, trends and customer experience. We wish UNIQLO team a very best onward & upward partnership ahead.”

Both UNIQLO stores will offer the brand's comprehensive range of LifeWear collections for men, women, kids, and babies. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, these products are thoughtfully crafted to meet the needs of daily lifestyles, reflecting UNIQLO's commitment to creating perfect clothing for everyone.

With these dual store openings, UNIQLO's footprint in Mumbai is set to redefine the city's fashion landscape, presenting a harmonious blend of quality, style, and functionality that resonates with modern consumers.
