About UNIQLO
The first UNIQLO store opened its doors in June 1984. We proved the success of the SPA manufacturer retailer model controlling the entire process from product planning, production, distribution and marketing. UNIQLO enjoyed superb growth by providing high quality casual wear at remarkably low prices.
Our fleece campaign sparked a UNIQLO boom across Japan in 1998. The post boom period saw a comparative fall off in revenue and profit, but our timely expansion of women's wear products helped generate a recovery in our business and saw the company generate sales of \400bln in fiscal 2006. We now boast a network of over 760 stores across Japan and we are working on increasing the UNIQLO appeal ever further through the development of 1650sqm stores (double the initial regular store size of 800sqm), and large-format stores with extensive shop floors of 3300sqm.
