POPULAR Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo has unveiled new details about its first Scottish store.
We previously told how the brand had put forward an application to open a new store in the historic BHS building on Princes Street in Edinburgh.
The company has now announced that the store will open in Spring 2024.
COO of Uniqlo UK Allesandro Dudech said: “We are excited to take this next big step in the UK’s expansion with the Edinburgh store opening in Spring 2024.

“It’s an honour to be opening in not only a new city but a new country. Edinburgh is a city of great cultural and historical heritage and we have many existing Scottish customers who shop through our e-commerce site, and Edinburgh has such a strong footfall from both locals and tourists.
“Uniqlo is proud to be expanding our presence in this important retail location, we look forward to bringing LifeWear to Scotland in 2024.”
The new store will be spread across two floors and will take the total number of Uniqlo stores across the UK to 19.
Uniqlo confirmed it is now recruiting for a number of roles in the store and encouraged people to visit the website HERE to apply.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
