Japanese brand Uniqlo reveals opening date for new Glasgow store in St Enoch centre

Japanese brand Uniqlo has revealed its newest store in Scotland is to open later this year.

The clothing giant opened its first store in Scotland on Edinburgh’s Princes Street last year – with hundreds of customers queueing up outside before opening.

A second shop is now due to open at St Enoch Centre on Argyle Street in Glasgow, with the store set to span 22,500 square feet.

It will take over two large retail unit spaces, including the former home of the St Enoch Picture Theatre.

Uniqlo confirmed the shop will open in autumn this year, along with another new store in Birmingham.

Alessandro Dudech, COO of UNIQLO UK said: “UNIQLO continues to invest in the UK retail landscape, growing our store footprint and e-commerce across the nation.

“Opening in Glasgow is a natural next step following our success in Edinburgh in 2024.

“We look forward to opening the doors in autumn 2025 and to providing LifeWear to even more Scottish customers.”

Guy Beaumont at Sovereign Centros from CBRE added: “We are thrilled to welcome international fashion powerhouse Uniqlo to St Enoch Centre.

“The first to open in Glasgow, and the brand’s second branch in Scotland, Uniqlo’s arrival further strengthens our position as the city’s top shopping destination, with an array of exciting and high-quality international brands on offer.

“St Enoch Centre strives to deliver the very best-in-class retail experience, and we are confident this latest addition will be a major hit for both local and visiting shoppers.”
