- Information
Fifth store in Italy and first in a shopping centre for Uniqlo. The Japanese fashion brand will arrive at Il Centro di Arese.
Uniqlo sets a date for spring 2027
The opening is scheduled for spring 2027.
The chain’s other sites are located in Milan’s Piazza Cordusio, where its flagship store of 1.500 sq m stands, and, also in Milan, in Piazza Gae Aulenti, as well as in Rome Termini and Rome’s Via del Corso.
The new single-brand store will have a total area of approximately 1.000 square metres, spread over two floors.
"Since 2019, the year in which we opened our first store in Italy, we have been encouraged by the support of our Milanese customers, a factor that subsequently led us to open a second store in the city in 2024 and enabled us to extend our presence in the capital," says Iwamura Kenshi, Coo of Uniqlo Italia. "Our aim now is to explore a new area, also reaching customers who live outside urban centres.”
The Arese Centre: 10 years and 900 million in turnover
