Japanese global apparel retailer UNIQLO is all set to enter South India with the launch of its first store in Bengaluru. The brand will open its newest outlet on 29 August 2025 at Orion Mall, Brigade Gateway, marking a significant milestone in its India journey and expanding its reach beyond North and West India.
The Bengaluru store will be UNIQLO’s 16th in India and marks the brand’s debut in the Southern region. Spread across 9,012 sq. ft. on the mall’s ground floor, the new outlet will feature UNIQLO’s full range of LifeWear—clothing designed for everyday life with a focus on simplicity, quality, and functionality.
“We are thrilled to finally announce UNIQLO’s entry into Southern India with our first store in Bengaluru,” said Kenji Inoue, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, UNIQLO India. “Bengaluru marks the next significant milestone for our India business expansion. Over the past few years, we have seen strong demand and brand affinity from Bengaluru through our e-commerce platform, and we look forward to welcoming our customers in person to discover UNIQLO LifeWear.”
The store will offer apparel for men, women, kids, and babies, and include innovations such as HEATTECH, AIRism, and PUFFTECH—products designed to meet the diverse needs of modern lifestyles. The opening also aligns with UNIQLO’s strategy of tapping into high-growth urban markets, and Bengaluru, with its blend of technology, youth culture, and cosmopolitan appeal, presents a fitting next step.
UNIQLO currently operates over 2,500 stores globally and is the largest brand under the Fast Retailing Group, which reported global sales of approximately 3.1 trillion yen (US $21.42 billion) for the fiscal year ending August 2024.
