Uniqlo is opening a store in Ottawa this spring, its first foray into the nation's capital.
The Japanese retailer's 15,000-square-foot store in the Rideau Centre mall will open in June, the company announced Thursday. It will be on the mall's third floor.
It's Uniqlo's first new store in Canada this year, part of a planned five-year expansion across the U.S. and Canada. The company is planning to open 20 new stores a year to reach 200 in North America by 2027. "We are proud of our strong connection to Canada," Daisuke Tsukagoshi, UNIQLO North America’s CEO, said in a news release. "Opening in the nation's capital marks an important milestone in UNIQLO's progress; it will allow us to strengthen our relationship with Canadian shoppers and introduce LifeWear to new guests – that clothing is made for everyone every day."The arrival comes as the Rideau Centre, Ottawa's largest mall, is losing an anchor tenant.
High-end department store Nordstrom announced earlier this month it would shut down operations in Canada, closing 13 stores including its Rideau Centre location.They also will be hosting a series of career fairs in Ottawa for potential employees to learn about the different available roles.
