JAPANESE fashion brand Uniqlo has revealed it has chosen Glasgow to open its second Scottish store.
The popular clothing brand is set to open a 22,500 square foot store located in the St Enoch Centre on Argyle Street, real estate media outlet CoStar News reported.
It also reported the major global retailer will have a prominent frontage in the shopping mall as the store will be situated between the entrance of the St Enoch Centre and the H&M store.
The news follows the opening of Uniqlo’s first Scottish store in Edinburgh on April 25 in the historic BHS building on Princes Street in Edinburgh.

It became the brand's nineteenth branch in the UK and shoppers were excited to have their first shop north of the Border.
The high-street fashion brand was originally founded in Yamaguchi, Japan in 1949 as a textiles manufacturer, and has since grown into a hugely recognisable global brand with more than 2000 stores worldwide.
The brand is well known for its LifeWear clothing as well as products such as its popular crossbody bag that has gone viral on social media platforms like TikTok.
Uniqlo has previously confirmed it plans to open 10 stores in Europe in 2024, with a further 15 in 2025 and 20 in 2026 as sales across the UK and European business soared by more than a third to £1.1 billion last year, according to the company's accounts.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
