Japanese fashion giant Uniqlo will open an outlet at Burnside Village later this year, its third store in Adelaide.

The global chain is one of several retailers that have been linked with the centre as part of a major expansion that’s nearing completion.

In a statement on Monday, Uniqlo confirmed it would open a store at Burnside in Autumn, following the opening of its Westfield Marion outlet in May last year.

Uniqlo’s first Adelaide store opened in 2022 at the Myer Centre in Rundle Mall.

The single-storey, ground floor Burnside Village store will stretch across close to 770sq m on the corner of Greenhill Rd and Sydney St.

Uniqlo Australia chief executive Fuminori Adachi said the Burnside opening followed a strong performance at the brand’s first two stores in Adelaide.

“Thanks to the amazing support from our beloved customers in Adelaide, we are pleased to announce our third store in South Australia, opening this Autumn at Burnside Village,” he said.

“We are very grateful for the loyal support of Adelaide customers since opening here in 2022.

“Now, our team looks forward to bringing Uniqlo LifeWear, known for its beautiful design and high quality, to even more customers here through the new store.”

The expansion of Burnside Village is doubling the centre’s footprint to almost 39,000sq m, including 80 new stores with three levels of additional retail space, a new premium mall, a new dining area, 560 undercover car parks and a 24-hour gym.

Spanish retail giant Zara reopened its store at Burnside in October following a multimillion-dollar refurbishment and after signing a new 20-year lease.

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

Uniqlo, which was launched in Yamaguchi, Japan, in 1949, has more than 2500 outlets globally and is known for its casual wear with a Japanese twist.

The “LifeWear” apparel, for which Uniqlo is famous, includes puffer jackets and affordable luxury cashmere knits and linen shirts, plus garments with in-built technology such as UV protection.
