After the launch of the American clothing store Forever 21 in July 2010, the SM group is ready to bring in their second foreign clothing brand in the Philippines this year.
Uniqlo, the popular Japanese fast-fashion clothing chain, will be opening their first store in the Philippines by June 2012 at the SM Mall of Asia. This was announced during a press launch by Fast Retailing Co., the operator of Uniqlo, held at Makati City on Thursday. On the same day, Uniqlo Philippines launched its official Facebook page and website.
The store will be occupying an approximate 1,550 square meters of floor space which would offer the latest in men's, women's, kids', and babies' fashion.
Naoki Otoma, managing director of Uniqlo Asia and Japan, has expressed his excitement over this new development, as he believes that there is great potential in the Philippine market.
Uniqlo is currently one of the largest apparel companies in the world, operating over 1,000 stores in Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the US, UK, Russia, and France.
