Munich celebrates: First Uniqlo store impresses with special shirts!
Thursday morning brought an exciting new beginning for the fashion world in Munich: The first Uniqlo store opened its doors and caused a lot of activity in Schwabing. Even before the official opening at 10 a.m., queues of several hundred meters formed in front of the store. Nico Urban, spokesman for Uniqlo, was pleased that around 40 fashion enthusiasts were already waiting to shop at 7 a.m., which increased the anticipation for the new collections.
What particularly caught the eye was the special collection in collaboration with Paulaner and artist Sebastian Schwamm. The T-shirts and jute bags in Spezi design were the hit of the day and quickly sold out. However, Uniqlo had a solution for all those who arrived late: repeat orders and your own designs can be placed at a personalization station. This special edition will remain available for the next six months, so all fans can still secure their place in fashion heaven.
Popular products and customer interest
The customers, especially young women from the local area, were enthusiastic about the items on offer. The winter collection with popular products such as “Heattech” thermal underwear, shirts, hats, knitwear and jackets is very popular. The positive response to the quality and price of the garments speaks for itself and suggests that Uniqlo could quickly become a new favorite among fashion retailers in Munich.
The opening in Munich is part of Uniqlo’s ambitious expansion strategy in Germany. The brand, which has been present on the German market since 2014, plans to increase its locations from ten to twelve. In addition to Munich, a new store will also be opened in Frankfurt am Main, which extends over 1,600 square meters on two floors. The new Uniqlo store in Munich is located at Leopoldstrasse 35 and offers around 900 square meters of space on two floors.
Another exciting point is that the Cologne Uniqlo store is currently moving. From autumn onwards, the shop will be relocated from Hohe Straße to Schildergasse 24-30, where customers can look forward to 1,450 square meters on three floors. Kohsuke Kobayashi, COO of Uniqlo Germany and Poland, expressed optimism about the expansion, which aims to bring “LifeWear” clothing based on Japanese values to a wider audience.
With this expansion, Uniqlo shows that the combination of quality, innovation and an appropriate price level is also very popular in Germany. It will be interesting to see how the brand will develop in the coming months, not just in Munich but throughout Germany. There is definitely something for those interested in fashion!
