Japanese fashion giant Uniqlo will open a second Adelaide store at Westfield Marion later this year.

The new outlet, which is set to open its doors this autumn, will open around 18 months after the launch of Uniqlo’s first Adelaide store at the Myer Centre in Rundle Mall.

In a statement on Thursday, Uniqlo said the Marion store would become its biggest in Adelaide, with more than 1000sq m of sales floor area, located at the Diagonal Rd end of the shopping centre.

“Thanks to exceptional customer support since the arrival of our first Uniqlo store in the city, we are delighted to announce our second store here this autumn,” Uniqlo Australia chief executive Fuminori Adachi said.

“We are very grateful for the positive reception from all Adelaideans so far. At our Westfield Marion store, our team looks forward to making life more comfortable and convenient for local customers through our unique LifeWear range and customer service.”

Hundreds of customers lined Rundle Mall before the long-anticipated opening of Uniqlo’s first Adelaide store in the Myer Centre which opened in November 2022.

Previously, South Australians had to travel interstate to shop the Japanese lifewear brand.

Uniqlo, which was launched in Yamaguchi, Japan, in 1949, has more than 2400 stores globally and is known for its casual wear with a Japanese twist.

Known for puffer jackets, the global retailer also offers apparel with built-in technology such as UV-protection – and accessories to suit all ages at affordable prices.

Uniqlo said more details about its new Westfield Marion store would be announced soon.
