UNIQLO's Global Flagship Store at West Nanjing Road Opening May 15th

UNIQLO's 4th global flagship following New York, London, and Paris, with the Shanghai West Nanjing Road store, UNIQLO will establish a presence on Shanghai's most prominent fashion avenue.

Often referred to as the "world's development center," Asia is the largest developing market in the world. Already referred to as the "Center of Asia," Shanghai is the largest city in that market, and is now set to become the "Center of the World." This energy and excitement serves as the backdrop for UNIQLO's newest global flagship store. Through the Shanghai West Nanjing Road store, UNIQLO will share its brand message of quality, style, and value with the entire world.
