UNIQLO Lands in Liverpool: Japanese Giant Opens with Local Love

On the morning of April 24th, global style icon UNIQLO finally flung open its doors on Paradise Street, and yep, it’s as sleek, stylish, and stacked as we hoped.

But before the shopping frenzy began, UNIQLO threw one heck of a party the night before. The exclusive grand opening bash on April 23rd had it all: live DJ sets, flowing drinks, and mouth-watering ‘chicken sandos’ courtesy of Derek’s (Liverpool’s own American-style sandwich royalty). The crowd? A who’s who of local content creators and fashion lovers.

Step inside the new two-storey space and you’ll find top-to-bottom shelves packed with their signature high-quality basics! Think comfy, elevated essentials, and playful pop culture collabs. And don’t miss the in-store embroidery and repair station, where you can get your gear stitched up with a splash of Scouse slang. Fancy a “boss” on your tote bag? Sorted.

Even better? Liverpool’s UNIQLO has some exclusive local love. You can shop limited-edition tees designed in collaboration with Baltic Market, Derek’s, and Girls on The Go (only available in store!)

So whether you're a lifelong UNIQLO fan or just here for the vibes, this new addition to the city is one to shout about. Welcome to Liverpool, UNIQLO!
