Low-cost clothing brand g.u. will launch its first flagship store in Tokyo on April 29. The g.u. Ikebukuro East Entrance Store will be the brand's largest presence in the city, with a retail floor space of nearly 1,000 square meters. The store will offer a varied range of seasonal fashion apparel in a shopper-friendly retail space--and all at amazingly low prices.

The g.u. brand has lofty aims, seeking to achieve 50 billion yen in sales across a network of 200 stores in the fiscal year to August 2013. Currently, g.u. is forging ahead with plans to accelerate openings of more spacious locations such as the Ikebukuro East Entrance Store.

Located adjacent to its sister brand UNIQLO Ikebukuro East Entrance Store, which offers a broad range of basic casual wear, the g.u. flagship store will provide a different yet complementary shopping experience while seeking to bring to an increasing number of customers the latest fashions at amazingly low prices.
