Fast Retailing will reopen UNIQLO's Shanghai flagship at a new Huaihai Road address on October 30
Fast Retailing is rebuilding UNIQLO's global flagship in Shanghai on a new site after 13 years at its old one — the latest entry in a flagship programme, alongside stores in Tokyo and New York, that the Japanese retailer treats as a proving ground for ideas it eventually brings home to its own domestic stores.
Fast Retailing said on 27 August that it will reopen UNIQLO's Shanghai global flagship at a new address — the first to third floors of 755 Huaihai Middle Road, in the city's Huangpu district — on 30 October, according to the company's release. The move replaces the store that had served as UNIQLO's China flagship at a different site for 13 years.
