It's confirmed: Japanese clothing brand UNIQLO will arrive in Philippine shores by the first quarter of 2012.
The clothing retailer, known for its basic, casual and affordable clothing, will be brought here courtesy of SM Retail, the same company responsible for bringing the American brand Forever 21 to the Philippines. The first store is expected to open at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay city.
SM Retail has partnered with Market Watch Investment Corporation (a subsidiary of Fast Retailing), to bring UNIQLO which would add to the growing list of foreign clothing brands who have expanded to the Philippines in recent years.
UNIQLO opened its first store in Japan in 1984, and has since expanded to other countries, including China, Russia, Hong Kong, South Korea, USA, France, and Thailand. It currently operates 974 stores spread out across these locations worldwide.
