Uniqlo to open 10 new US stores this fall

To staff the new stores, UNIQLO will take on the ambitious plan to hire and train several hundred full-time and part-time employees at all levels.

The new UNIQLO stores represent the company's goal for a continued expansion within the important U.S. market.

The new stores will be in shopping centers and retail mall spaces and will all carry the innovative casual clothing UNIQLO provides for Men, Women, and Kids. UNIQLO will open two stores in New Jersey, three stores in New York, one store in Connecticut and four stores in California.

"UNIQLO is ready to take our next step in our U.S. expansion by opening more smaller format and mall stores in the regions surrounding our current flagships stores in the Tri-State and Northern California regions," said Larry Meyer, COO of UNIQLO's USA business and Fast Retailing Group Senior Vice President.

"Our goal is to continue to build brand awareness for new potential customers, and greater loyalty from our fans, with more convenient access to our high quality clothing and exceptional customer service."
