Japanese clothing brand UNIQLO's Canadian invasion continues with this week's opening of their third Vancouver-area location. The UNIQLO store in Richmond at Richmond Centre will open up on Friday, April 6 at 10 am.
Following March's launch of UNIQLO in Surrey at Guildford Town Centre, and last year's B.C. debut at Metrotown in Burnaby, this marks the continued rapid expansion of the clothing chain.

Situated in an 8,010 sq foot first floor space, the Richmond Centre location will kick off their new tenancy by giving away an AIRism innerwear top to the first 500 customers who make any purchase on opening day (limit one per customer).
For the Richmond open, UNIQLO will also have specials on items for men, women, and children.
It's likely this store opening will draw a crowd; when UNIQLO's first Metro Vancouver location opened in early October of 2017, there was a massive line of shoppers ready to hit the racks and shelves.
UNIQLO’s roots go back to 1949, but about 20 years ago the company took a page from The Gap’s playbook and switched their focus to producing their own label of casual wear, and opening stores around the world. The retailer hit Canada with a one-two punch in 2016, opening at Toronto’s Eaton Centre in September and Yorkdale shopping centre the following month.
UNIQLO Richmond is located at CF Richmond Centre - 6551 No 3 Road, Richmond
