Japanese global apparel retailer, UNIQLO has opened its first Adelaide store at the Myer Centre located in Rundle Mall, welcoming 85 new store staff members.
The store spans over 900 square metres with the full line-up of UNIQLO’s Lifewear apparel for men, women, kids and babies. It features 11 fitting rooms and five self-check out machines.
UNIQLO chief operating officer, Kensuke Suwa said “After receiving great demand and support from South Australians, we’re excited to be opening our first store in Adelaide, making this UNIQLO’s 30th store in Australia since the brand arrived in 2014.
“The UNIQLO Adelaide store team are looking forward to meeting locals, providing world-class customer service and helping them with our iconic LifeWear products – simple, high-quality, everyday clothing thought through with life’s needs in mind, and accessible for everyone.”
To run off the opening celebrations, UNIQLO provided free Japanese cheesecakes with yuzu curd created by South Australian Masterchef legend, Callum Hann, as well as a free gift bag to the first 1,000 customers who spend $100 or more.
