Japanese global apparel retailer, UNIQLO, has announced plans to bring its world-class retail experience and famed service to Stockland Wetherill Park Shopping Centre in July this year.

The opening marks the first UNIQLO to open with Stockland, and is the first store to be opened by the international retailer in Australia for 2022.

Michael Iraninejad, Centre Manager at Stockland Wetherill Park, said that the centre was thrilled to welcome the international retailer. “UNIQLO provides our customers with an even greater range of fashion offerings and we have no doubt the Wetherill Park community will be just as excited as we are to see UNIQLO join the ranks of our specialist retailers,” he said.

“We’re proud to be able to support UNIQLO’s continued growth within the Australian market,” he said.

UNIQLO Wetherill Park will be the first UNIQLO store to open in Australia in 2022, taking the global retailer’s national network to 26 stores

Kensuke Suwa, Chief Operating Officer, UNIQLO Australia said: “Since we opened our first store at Emporium in Melbourne, we’ve observed that our customers continue to shop with us because they’ve adopted our brand philosophy of LifeWear, where our mission is to create clothes that are well designed, functional, comfortable and overall, help improve their lives.

“Our new Wetherill Park store – located in a prime Stockland retail complex – is our latest step to keep bringing our brand, LifeWear products and retail experience to more local people and communities around Australia. Our clothing is made with simplicity, quality and longevity in mind, and we’re excited that Wetherill Park residents will be able to access a full line-up of UNIQLO’s LifeWear apparel for men, women and kids, offered at our newest Australian store.”

UNIQLO Wetherill Park will see UNIQLO expand its Australia footprint into suburban areas across the country, taking the global retailer’s national network to 26 stores.
