UNIQLO is opening a new Melbourne store in October — and it will be in Monash.

The global casual clothing giant is part of The Glen’s $460 million transformation, featuring alongside H&M as the shopping centre welcomes a new fashion and lifestyle precinct, along with many other new and returning international and local fashion retailers.

Stage 3 of The Glen's $460m redevelopment will be launched in October.

Uniqlo Australia chief operating officer Kenji Tsuji said exemplary customer service and its LifeWear proposition were key factors in the Japanese company’s success in Australia.

The Glen centre manager Richard Devlin said the shopping centre was “excited” to welcome Uniqlo as part of its redevelopment and new fashion precinct.
