In 2005, UNIQLO began opening large-scale stores of over 1,600 square meters in Japan. Today, large-scale stores account for approximately 20% of UNIQLO's total, and the majority of openings are of large-scale stores. As we expand our total sales space, we are careful to avoid any cannibalization of business. When we open a new large-scale location, we make sure to close regular-sized (800 square meters) stores nearby.
