WINNIPEG, MB, Jan. 12, 2026 /CNW/ - Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the opening of its first Winnipeg location at CF Polo Park Mall this spring. With growing customer affinity for LifeWear, the brand is well-positioned for Manitoba, making UNIQLO accessible to even more Canadians.
Since opening its first location in Toronto in 2016, UNIQLO has created a unique shopping experience for Canadian customers, underpinned by its LifeWear --simple, high-quality apparel, thoughtfully crafted with life's needs in mind, and constantly evolving with the times. Through viral products, designer collaborations, and proprietary clothing technology such as HEATTECH and AIRism, UNIQLO continues to gain global popularity. Meanwhile, the brand continues to bring its world-class retail experience to new locations and communities across Canada.
Yuya Tanahashi, Chief Operating Officer of UNIQLO in Canada, credits the company's success to its continued community-focused approach. "This is a massive milestone for UNIQLO in Canada. As UNIQLO continues to resonate with Canadian customers, Winnipeg offers exciting potential. We aim to deliver essential clothing that complements their lifestyles as building blocks of their wardrobe. We look forward to introducing our innovative LifeWear products here, and to engaging with new customers."
UNIQLO CF Polo Park will offer the current LifeWear lineup for men, women, kids, and babies, seasonal collaborations, and the UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) range of graphic T-shirts, plus other items. As with elsewhere in the world, the new Winnipeg store is part of a UNIQLO global business model that seamlessly combines its retail stores' world-class shopping and service experience with complementary convenience of its uniqlo.com online store.
Today, UNIQLO has over 2,500 stores worldwide, including 37 stores in Canada and online at UNIQLO.com. Opening its first store in Hiroshima in 1984, UNIQLO creates apparel that is made for all, and which embodies Japanese values of simplicity, quality, longevity and comfort, to improve the daily lives of people everywhere.
