Grosvenor has announced that UNIQLO, the internationally acclaimed fashion brand, is to make its city debut at Liverpool ONE.

The Japanese retailer is set to open in a double-height 25,000 sq ft unit on Paradise Street early next year and will join the street’s series of anchor stores, including BOSS, JD and Goldsmiths.

The new Liverpool ONE store will follow UNIQLO’s trademark experience-led style, implementing its considered approach to layout and space to create a “seamless shopping experience”. The space will house its signature womenswear, menswear and kidswear collections, as well as its well-known range of bags and other accessories.

The new store will also feature self-service checkout areas, dedicated collection points and the brand’s clothing repair, alteration and recycling services to help extend the life of UNIQLO’s clothing.

Alessandro Dudech, COO at UNIQLO UK, says: “As UNIQLO continues to expand across the UK, we are dedicated to selecting the best locations to be the home of our brand.

“Investing in Liverpool, a leading UK shopping destination was a natural next step, and Liverpool ONE was the obvious choice, given the unique opportunity to open a prominent, showstopping space on Paradise Street.

“We’re excited to continue to open in new cities and introduce our Lifewear to the people of Liverpool for the first time, we look forward to connecting with our customers next year.”

Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Grosvenor, adds: “UNIQLO is yet another international fashion powerhouse taking a showcase space on Liverpool ONE’s Paradise Street.

“Creating a bold, compelling hub of best-in-class international brands has long been our strategy, playing to the needs and wants of our diverse mix of domestic and international visitors, and we’re thrilled to be welcoming UNIQLO to Liverpool for the first time.”

The news of UNIQLO’s signing follows the recent announcement that global beauty brand, Sephora, is to take 7,500 sq ft of space in a cornerstone unit at a key entrance to South John Street. Joining it will be the largest-ever multi-brand flagship store from TFG London, delivering its Hobbs, Phase Eight, Whistles and Inside Story brands across a footprint of 12,000 sq ft, also located on South John Street.
