Uniqlo celebrates 10th year in Malaysia by announcing first roadside megastore

Uniqlo is celebrating their 10th anniversary in Malaysia by announcing their first roadside store. It is expected to open this December, at DA Square @ Damansara Avenue.

“Essentially, the new Uniqlo roadside store will serve as a close-to-home store for customers in Bandar Sri Damansara and surrounding townships, giving locals the chance to enjoy a quick and convenient trip to the store,” said Uniqlo Malaysia and Singapore chief executive officer, Yuki Yamada.

The roadside store is basically a community-based “megastore”, surrounded by residential townships, schools and office buildings. It has been designed to ensure that it has enough space and accessibility families with children, elderly people and people with disabilities. It will also have a car park for customers.

“Over the years, we have developed a strong presence here with an online store and 51 physical stores in shopping malls located in major cities and towns across 12 states… The roadside store marks our continuous expansion in this market and we hope it would complement the existing network of mall-based outlets,” continued Yamada.

Currently, Malaysia has 47 outlets across the country. Malaysia will be the fifth country outside Japan, and the third in Southeast Asia to have a roadside concept store—following launches in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines.
