MUJI, the Japanese brand that means "no brand quality goods," opened a pop-up store Friday in Portland in advance of the opening of the company's brick-and-mortar location in the Meier and Frank Building later this fall.

MUJI was founded in Japan in 1980. In the intervening years, it has expanded globally, with stores in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The store has 15 locations in the United States, but the Portland store will be the first in the Pacific Northwest.



At 11,000 square feet, the Portland store will be MUJI's second-largest retail space in the United States.

Ichigo Sugiura, MUJI USA's marketing manager, was on hand for the pop-up shop opening.



"We try to sell products that are for everyone's daily essentials," she said. "From cleaning supplies, to garments, to stationery. Basically you could buy your whole life in MUJI. It's easy."

The pop-up shop has about 300 products, including diffusers, socks, notebooks and luggage. The department store, which Sugiura said will open before 2019, and "hopefully" in November, will carry thousands more products, including expanded clothing options and furniture.



The pop-up will be open at 625 S.W. 10th Ave. until Oct. 28. It's open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
