Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., today announces plans for brands UNIQLO and Theory to open a new store on Regent Street in London in spring 2022. Situated in one of the world's most prestigious fashion and lifestyle destinations, the approximately 1,900 square meter (20,500 square feet) store represents the first time for the two apparel brands to occupy retail space in the same location in the U.K. and across Europe.
Commenting on the announcement, Fast Retailing Chairman, President and CEO Tadashi Yanai said, "Regent Street and the United Kingdom hold a special significance to Fast Retailing. Regent Street was one of the first UNIQLO stores we opened outside our home market Japan, back in 2001. During these past twenty years we have raised our profile as a global apparel retailer, and in the U.K. market alone we now boast several stores." He added, "We look forward to welcoming customers to our new Regent Street store next spring, to explore the latest designs, innovations and services from UNIQLO and Theory."
The new store will be located at 101-113 Regent Street and will be divided along three floors, with UNIQLO on the lower ground, ground and first floors and Theory on the ground floor (according to the British floor numbering system). Customers will be able to walk freely from one space to the other.
In addition, newly expanded head offices for the companies' European and U.K. operations will be housed across three floors above the store. This will include for the first time an in-house press showroom for UNIQLO. All such steps reflect the continued commitment from UNIQLO and Theory to strengthen their presence in the important U.K. market and increase the level of engagement with customers.
