Japan’s fashion giant Uniqlo plans to expand its operations in India by opening a high-street outlet in New Delhi and a highway store in Punjab.
Uniqlo has leased about 10,000 sqft in New Delhi’s Connaught Place and the store will come up in the retail space that was previously occupied by Italy’s Benetton.
Uniqlo fast-fashion brand also plans to open a highway store in Zirakpur in Punjab where the world’s third-largest fashion retailer has leased about 25,000 sqft space in Dhillion Group’s retail park called Dhillion Plaza that is home to Starbucks, Burger King, McDonald's, Decathlon, KFC and a host of other global brands.
Uniqlo entered India in September 2019, barely months before India went on months of lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic that had hit in early 2020. So far, Uniqlo has opened six stores in the National Capital Region and one in Lucknow, the latest outlet that was rolled out in July.
