Currently, there are two UNIQLO stores in Metro Vancouver, located in Burnaby's Metrotown and Surrey’s Guildford Town Centre.

“We opened our first store in the Greater Vancouver Area last fall and we received a great demand from customers for more stores,” said Yasuhiro Hayashi, chief operating officer of UNIQLO Canada. “This newest expansion demonstrates our commitment to bring LifeWear to more Canadians on the West Coast.”

UNIQLO is recognized for innovative functional apparel.
