The Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo announced his next expansion steps in Germany last week. In Great Britain, too, the company, which belongs to the retail group, wants to further expand its presence strategically. Three new branches are to be opened in Liverpool, Birmingham and Glasgow.
This step follows the successful new openings in Edinburgh and London and will increase the total number of Uniqlo branches in the United Kingdom to 23 by the end of 2025.
The first opening takes place in Liverpool. There, Uniqlo was able to secure space in the Paradise Street in the “Liverpool One” complex. The extensive branch will be opened on April 24th and Uniqlos Utme! Service for personalizable T-shirts and a special Re.Uniqlo Studio, which offers repair and recycling services for already worn Uniqlo clothing.
There the retailer will also work with local partners: work inside. This includes the organization for women’s health and empowerment “Girls on the Go”, which will be held in the run-up to the opening of Uniqlo running groups. Further collaborations are to be announced.

Birmingham and Glasgow follow the opening in Liverpool in autumn.
The new store in Glasgow will be the second location of Uniqlo in Scotland after a flagship store on Princes Street in Edinburgh was opened in April last year. The 1,200 square meter branch is opened in the popular Argyle Street shop in Glasgow and extends over three floors.
In Birmingham, Uniqlo has secured an area in the “Bullring” shopping center in the New Street. The 1,100 square meter branch, the first in the Midlands, will also extend over three floors.
