“The launch of UNIQLO in British Columbia represents another major milestone for us, as Canada continues to be an important focus for the company globally,” Yasuhiro Hayashi, the chief operating officer of UNIQLO Canada, said in a news release. “We are extremely excited to share UNIQLO with the people of Vancouver and surrounding areas and introduce them to how our high-quality, comfortable and functional clothing can help improve their everyday lives.

“With the opportunity for outdoor adventures to world-class amenities, we hope that Vancouverites will embrace UNIQLO’s versatile and stylish everyday clothes that cater to their active lifestyle.”

Shoppers can expect to find the full range of UNIQLO products in the new shop, spanning menswear, womenswear and children’s wear.

The new location will be the brand’s third Canadian outpost. UNIQLO opened two stores in Toronto last year at Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Shopping Centre.
