UNIQLO, the global Japanese apparel retailer, today announced it will open UNIQLO CF Pacific Centre, a new flagship store in downtown Vancouver, in spring 2027. The news comes as UNIQLO celebrates its 10-year anniversary in Canada. It will be the brand’s first location in the heart of the city, making UNIQLO accessible to even more Canadians.
Yuya Tanahashi, Chief Operating Officer of UNIQLO Canada, credits that growth to a community-focused approach. “Vancouver is a global city with a distinct way of living: active, practical, and design-driven. This closely resonates with our LifeWear philosophy, which ensures our clothing improves everyday life for everyone. UNIQLO CF Pacific Centre puts us at the center of it all, and we’re excited to serve the people who live, work and visit this beautiful city.”
UNIQLO CF Pacific Centre will offer the full LifeWear lineup for men, women, kids, and babies, seasonal collaborations, the UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) range of graphic T-shirts, and more. Like stores worldwide, the new Vancouver store is part of UNIQLO’s global business model, seamlessly combining its world-class in-store shopping and service experience with the convenience of its uniqlo.com online store.
UNIQLO entered Canada in 2016 at CF Eaton Centre in Toronto; a decade later, it has grown to 41 stores nationwide. The brand opened its first B.C. location at Metrotown in 2017, and British Columbians have embraced LifeWear ever since. LifeWear is UNIQLO’s philosophy of simple, high-quality apparel designed for everyday life. Essential products, designer collaborations, and clothing technology such as HEATTECH and AIRism have driven the brand’s worldwide popularity. In Canada, the brand continues to bring its world-class retail experience to new locations and communities.
UNIQLO opened its first store in Hiroshima in 1984 and now operates over 2,500 stores worldwide, and an online store at UNIQLO.com. LifeWear apparel reflects Japanese values of simplicity, quality, and longevity, offering timeless designs, superior fit, and comfort that evolve with customer needs.
