Uniqlo to expand store network in India

Asia’s largest fashion brand, Uniqlo plans to expand its store network in India over the next three years. The brand currently operates 13 stores in India and plans to open about 28-30 more stores in the next three years.

Besides expanding in existing cities, Uniqlo plans to enter into new markets like Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The brand plans to open six to eight stores in Pune and Mumbai over the next two years. Its latest store will be opened before Diwali in Phoenix Palladium Mall, Mumbai. The 15,000 sq. ft. store will be located next to the upcoming Bershka store, a brand from Zara’s owner Inditex, making its India debut later this year.

Additionally, Uniqlo will open a store in Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden, Delhi either by November this year or early next year. The retailer is also in discussions with several prominent malls in these cities.
