2/23/26 Update: Please visit our Store Openings page for the latest news on upcoming stores, opening dates, and grand opening events.

In 2026, UNIQLO will significantly deepen its U.S. retail footprint with the opening of new stores across key markets nationwide, including flagship locations in Chicago and San Francisco, four stores across New York City, and brand-first entries into Miami, Florida, and Austin, Texas, along with an additional store in Houston. Together, these locations mark the next phase of our long-term, purposeful U.S. expansion strategy.

This milestone year also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the UNIQLO SoHo Global Flagship, the first UNIQLO global flagship outside Japan. As we celebrate two decades in the U.S. market, we remain focused on expanding into communities where LifeWear can meaningfully improve everyday life.

Purposeful Growth Rooted in the Values of LifeWear


Our 2026 expansion continues our balanced approach—entering new regions while deepening our presence in established, high-performing markets. This strategy reflects our commitment to thoughtful, customer‑centered growth.

“Celebrating 20 years in New York City is deeply meaningful for us, and 2026 marks an exciting next chapter for UNIQLO in the U.S.,” said Fuminori Adachi, UNIQLO USA CEO. “Each new store opening is a thoughtful step forward for our brand. As we expand, we remain focused on opening stores in markets that matter most to our customers, where we can deliver the full UNIQLO store experience and build lasting relationships with local communities.”

Creating a Seamless and Engaging In‑Store Experience


Every new UNIQLO location is designed to offer a modern, convenient, and welcoming shopping experience. Customers can expect signature services such as:
• RFID-enabled self-checkout
• Alteration services
• RE.UNIQLO donation bins supporting circularity

Select stores will also feature:
• UTme!, offering customizable T-shirts and tote bags
• RE.UNIQLO Studio, providing repair and embroidery services

These offerings reflect our commitment to simplicity, longevity, and caring for every garment.

Honoring Our Heritage, Looking Toward the Future


UNIQLO was founded in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1984, when Tadashi Yanai transformed his family’s tailoring shop into a new kind of store dedicated to simple, high-quality casualwear for all. Today, guided by Japanese principles of simplicity, quality, and longevity, we continue to create LifeWear that enriches everyday life.

UNIQLO now operates more than 2,500 stores worldwide, including 78 in the United States, with more to come in 2026.
