Turning Japanese: Uniqlo unveils 10th Australian store

Uniqlo may never become as ubiquitous in Australia as it is in Japan but the retailer known overseas as the "department-store killer" is fast becoming a household name.

Eighteen months after opening its first store in Australia, Uniqlo has unveiled plans to open stores in Indooropilly next month and in Brisbane and Chatswood early next year, taking the number of stores to 10.

Matt Parker, Uniqlo Australia’s chief development officer, says the fast-growing chain is also looking for sites in South Australia and Western Australia and regional centres in all states.
