HÀ NỘI — UNIQLO, the Japanese global apparel retailer, on Tuesday announced the location of its first store in Hà Nội, set to open in spring this year.

The first UNIQLO store in Việt Nam’s capital city will be located at Vincom Phạm Ngọc Thạch in Đống Đa District.

One of the largest UNIQLO stores in South East Asia, UNIQLO Vincom Phạm Ngọc Thạch will measure almost 2,500 square metres and offer the full global line-up of LifeWear for men, women, and kids across two levels.

The prime Hà Nội location will further strengthen the UNIQLO brand in Việt Nam, following its very successful launch into the market, in HCM City, in December last year.

"UNIQLO is very honoured and excited to open its first store in Hà Nội. We are greatly inspired by the city’s rich history and beauty, and are creating a world-class store to showcase LifeWear in harmony with the community around us. UNIQLO Vincom Phạm Ngọc Thạch is the next step in our ongoing plan to make a long-term positive contribution to Việt Nam, its people and society,” said Osamu Ikezoe, general director and chief operating officer of UNIQLO Việt Nam.

LifeWear is UNIQLO’s commitment to create well-designed clothing that will meet everyone’s needs for daily wear. High quality, functional, affordable and innovative, LifeWear is available in a variety of colours and designs for people of all ages. — VNS
