Uniqlo will open its first two stores in Canada in 2016 in Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre and the Toronto Eaton Centre, Uniqlo announced Monday morning. Since opening its first store in Japan in 1984, Uniqlo has grown to become a worldwide chain with more than 1,500 stores. Known for stylish and affordable designs, it is in 17 global markets with Canada being its 18th. The announcement of Uniqlo’s foray into Canada, comes just as Target is shutting its 133 stores in Canada, a failed two-year expansion into this country. It suffered from coming into Canada too fast with too many stores all at once, as well as a poor supply chain and a perception that its prices are too high. Uniqlo will try to learn from Target’s missteps.
