Uniqlo to open first store in Hai Phong this summer
VOV.VN - Popular Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo have recently announced plans to open its first Hai Phong store this summer, taking their total number of stores to 11 in Vietnam.
The store will be located inside Aeon Mall Le Chan, spreading over an area of 2,000 square metres.
A summer opening for the store seems most likely, although an exact date is not yet known.
So far, Uniqlo boasts a total of 10 stores in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, with its first opening on Dong Khoi street in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 in 2019. At the opening day approximately 2,000 people queued up from 4 a.m. to take advantage of discounts on offer.
Globally, the retailer has over 2,300 stores located in 25 countries and territories.
Its parent company, Fast Retailing, reported that operating profits rose in the latest fiscal quarter ending in November to JPY119 billion (US$1 billion) despite weaker sales at its Uniqlo stores in Japan. It has planned to keep its profit forecast for the current fiscal year intact at JPY270 billion.
