Japanese men’s and women’s clothing retailer Uniqlo has opened a new store at Cross Iron Mills shopping centre in Rocky View County, just outside Calgary’s northern city limits.

Rocky View County is considered part of the Calgary commercial real estate market. The chain now has three Calgary-area locations and six altogether in Alberta.

Uniqlo will also open a new store at South Edmonton Commons in the Alberta capital.

The forthcoming openings are part of Uniqlo’s ongoing Canadian expansion program.

In addition, Uniqlo is preparing to open its first store in Victoria, B.C., at billionaire mall owner Ruby Liu’s Mayfair Shopping Centre. It remains to be seen whether Uniqlo will take up space in the area that previously housed a Hudson’s Bay Company department store.

Liu secured the lease covering the for space as part of a $6-million purchase of three former Bay leases at B.C. malls that she owns. She is also attempting to acquire 25 other Bay leases elsewhere in B.C., Alberta and Ontario.

Uniqlo is also getting set to open a new store at the Galeries de la Capitale mall in Quebec City. The stores will stock he current lineup of LifeWear apparel for men, women, kids, and babies, seasonal collaborations, and Uniqlo’s range of graphic T-shirts and other items.

The four new stores are scheduled to open this fall. Once they are open, Uniqlo will have 37 Canadian locations.
