Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the opening of a new global flagship store, UNIQLO Myeongdong, on May 22. Located in the Myeongdong district of Seoul district, a premier shopping district that attracts diverse visitors from South Korea and overseas. The store boasts approximately 3,200 square meters of retail space across three floors, making it the largest UNIQLO in South Korea. In addition to carrying the full lineup of LifeWear for women, men, kids and babies, UNIQLO Myeongdong will offer a comprehensive shopping experience that embodies the UNIQLO LifeWear philosophy through its store design and world-class services.
The store exterior features a large-scale façade composed of white panels with a digital logo that--against the backdrop of Myeongdong's vibrant streetscape filled with countless buildings and signs--emphasizes the UNIQLO aesthetic of simplicity and refinement. At the lower levels, granite columns are used to finish the existing building's linear structure with contemporary materials, reinterpreting it as a modern space.
"We are delighted to open UNIQLO Myeongdong as a global flagship store that embodies the concept of LifeWear and the value it offers. Through the full lineup of LifeWear, superlative customer service, and brand experiences befitting a global flagship, we aim to make this store a new landmark in Myeongdong for Korean customers, of course, but also for the many people from around the world who visit the area." said FRL Korea Co-CEO Takao Kuwahara.
The first floor of UNIQLO Myeongdong will showcase key WOMENS and MENS products alongside a "LifeWear magazine Zone" introducing the LifeWear worldview. Also on the first floor is a "UT Zone" showcasing the latest collections from the UNIQLO graphic T-shirt brand alongside the popular UTme! service, which allows customers to create original T-shirts and tote bags, with special designs exclusive to UNIQLO Myeongdong. WOMENS and KIDS & BABIES items are found on the second floor, while MENS items can be found on the third floor.
The third floor of UNIQLO Myeongdong also features RE.UNIQLO STUDIO, the repair and remake service found in major stores around the world that enables customers to wear their beloved LifeWear items for longer. Highlighting the brand's commitment to valuing and connecting with the local community, photographic works capturing the charm of Myeongdong across different eras will be displayed throughout the store.
To celebrate the opening of UNIQLO Myeongdong, a special four-day campaign will be held from May 22 to 25. Popular summer items will be sold at special prices, and customers who make a purchase at the store will receive a novelty item created in collaboration with a Korean brand on a first-come, first-served basis.
