Fast Retailing to sell face masks in Japan's Uniqlo stores
27 May 20 1 min read
Fast Retailing Co. plans to start selling face masks made from the highly breathable and fast-drying materials used in its AIRism functional underwear in the summer to deal with the spread of the novel coronavirus, according to company officials, who recently said the masks will be sold at its Uniqlo casual wear store chain and on its online shopping website.
The company changed its cautious stance on selling masks in response to strong customer needs, the officials were quoted as saying by Japanese media reports.
At a financial result briefing in April, Fast Retailing chairman and president Tadashi Yanai sounded cautious about selling face masks, saying the company’s main line of business is the manufacturing of clothing.
The demand for masks that are suitable for summer use is expected to rise, especially with no prospects in sight for an end to the COVID-19 epidemic.
