Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo plans to open four new stores in Canada this fall.

The planned openings are part of Uniqlo’s effort to add 20 new stores in Canada and the U.S. in 2024 and have 200 North American locations by 2027. The four new Canadian stores are to be located in Toronto, its suburbs Mississauga, Ont., and Brampton, Ont., and Langley, B.C.

“We have seen incredible momentum throughout Canada, and we couldn’t be more excited to open four new stores,” said Daisuke Tsukagoshi, CEO of Uniqlo North America, in a news release.

“Uniqlo continues to resonate with Canadian customers, and we aim to deliver essential clothing that complements their lifestyles, made to be building blocks of their wardrobe with longevity in mind.”

Uniqlo will operate the stores within leased spaces in major shopping centres: Cadillac Fairview’s CF Sherway Gardens (Toronto); Orlando Corporation’s Heartland Town (Mississauga); Morguard’s Bramalea City Centre (Brampton); andQuadReal’s Willowbrook Shopping Centre (Langley.)

The retailer is looking to expand its hiring efforts in each market and will host a series of career fairs to help potential applicants better understand the roles that make up the organization.

Uniqlo opened its first Canadian location in Toronto in 2016. The chain has approximately 2,400 worldwide stores.
