Uniqlo Opens In Edinburgh

Retail giant Uniqlo is set to open the doors to its first Scottish store on Edinburgh’s Princes Street tomorrow, Thursday April 25th. To commemorate the grand opening, Uniqlo Edinburgh is hosting special promotions and events, offering customers the chance to discover the latest styles and enjoy exclusive offers including the chance to win a trip to Tokyo.

The opening is set to regenerate the capital’s Princes Street. Boasting a spacious retail space spanning approximately 1,400 sq meters across two floors, the first Scottish Uniqlo showcases the full collection of LifeWear for men, women, kids and babies. 

"We are delighted to bring UNIQLO to the thriving city of Edinburgh. Our brand is dedicated to providing innovative and high-quality clothing that caters to the needs and preferences of diverse lifestyles. With our presence in Edinburgh, we aim to become an integral part of the local community, offering a unique shopping experience that blends style, comfort and affordability." Alessandro Dudech, Chief Operating Officer at Uniqlo U.K 

Housed in the iconic, modernist purpose-built retail store and cafe, designed by Johnson-Marshall and Partners in 1965, the Princes Street store features a wide range of popular collections. Customers will be able to explore linen, BLOCKTECH, the brand’s smart range of water resistant and windproof items, as well as the high-performing AIRism collection, renowned for its lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that adapt seamlessly to diverse climates.

What’s in Store?

The first 100 customers through the door will receive a goody bag while Uniqlo app customers will be in with the chance of winning a trip to Tokyo, by scanning the app with any purchase during opening weekend to be entered into the draw. There will be limited price promotions exclusive to the Princes Street store on items such as Ultra Light Down, Extra Fine Merino sweaters, pleated wide pants and selected innerwear for both men and women.

Fans are invited to share their excitement across social channels using #UniqloEdinburgh, when they spot the activity including the UNIQLO branded Edinburgh Trams in the wake of the opening.

Uniqlo currently has 19 stores in the U.K. The new Edinburgh Princes Street store opens hot on the heels of One Oxford Street in London on 18th April 2024.
