UNIQLO will be opening a store in Liverpool city centre for the first time.

Liverpool ONE has announced that UNIQLO, the internationally acclaimed fashion brand, is to make its city debut at Liverpool ONE, taking a 25,000 sq ft of space.

The new Liverpool ONE store will house Uniqlo’s signature womenswear, menswear and kidswear collections, as well as its range of bags and other accessories.
