Fast Retailing Group’s global apparel brands UNIQLO and Theory will open the doors to a large, 1,450sqm joint store, located in the heart of historic Covent Garden with entrances on Long Acre and Floral Street on Thursday 27th April.
The store covers three expansive floors of UNIQLO LifeWear and Theory alongside beautiful original features. The Grade II-listed former Victorian carriage hall with open courtyard and vaulted glass atrium will focus on experience-led features for customers including; RE.UNIQLO Studio, UTme! and UNIQLO UK’s first cafe in store. The latest, 113sqm store, is the next step in Theory’s exciting expansion in the U.K market as it continues to lead the global conversation in modern wardrobe essentials. Once opened, the Covent Garden store will take the total number of Theory stores in the U.K. to four.
“It’s an honour to be opening in an area of London with such cultural and retail heritage and continuing to expand our U.K. presence in important retail locations. With such a strong footfall from both Londoners and tourists, we look forward to offering LifeWear to both new and existing UNIQLO customers.” said Alessandro Dudech, COO of UNIQLO U.K.
