Exciting news for shoppers – fast fashion retailer Uniqlo is opening a brand new global flagship store in Shinjuku on Friday October 25. The new store is taking over the former Bicqlo space, which was a collaboration between electronics retailer Bic Camera and Uniqlo, closed in 2022.
The new Uniqlo will be the brand’s fifth store in Shinjuku and the 16th global flagship store worldwide. It boasts a massive 4,000sqm sales area spread out over three floors, making it the largest Uniqlo in the area. The new shopping hub will offer more than clothing; here you’ll also find Uniqlo Coffee, Uniqlo Flower and other brands under the Fast Retailing group.
Here’s what you can expect from the new Uniqlo global flagship store in Shinjuku.
Starting on the ground floor, you’ll come across men’s and women’s fashion that will change with the seasons.
The second floor carries the full womenswear collection, along with other Fast Retailing brands including PLST and Comptoir des Cotonniers.
The second floor will also house Uniqlo Coffee and a small café space, where you can enjoy drinks along with snacks from long-established Shinjuku confectionaries including Shinjuku Nakamuraya and Oiwake Dango Honpo Shinjuku.
There’s also a corner for Uniqlo Flower, where you can pick up fresh bouquets starting at ¥390.
Head up to the third floor and you’ll find the Re.Uniqlo Studio, which offers repair and remake services. There’s also the custom Utme! area for you to customise your own T-shirts. You’ll also be able to pick up exclusive collaboration items with eight renowned companies that have their headquarters in Shinjuku, including Nissin Foods, Sekaido, Shinjuku Nakamuraya, Shinjuku Suehirotei and Shinjuku Takano.
On the third floor, you’ll also find an array of clothing collections that were previously available only in the US and Europe. These items have been redesigned for Japan and will only be sold at this Shinjuku global flagship store.
