With doors set to open on November 1, 2024, this store marks Uniqlo’s 14th location in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and its 29th Canadian location, furthering its rapid expansion across the country.
A Grand Opening with Exciting Celebrations
To celebrate this milestone, Uniqlo has planned a series of engaging activities and special offers for shoppers on opening day:
- Exclusive In-Store Offers – Shoppers can take advantage of limited-time deals available only on opening day.

These celebrations promise to provide an exciting shopping experience and a taste of Japanese culture for Uniqlo fans and holiday shoppers alike.
Uniqlo’s Continued Canadian Expansion
Uniqlo’s journey in Canada began in 2016 with the launch of its first store at the CF Eaton Centre in Toronto. Since then, the brand has rapidly grown its footprint, opening new stores across the country.
This latest store at Sherway Gardens is one of three new locations announced for the GTA this year. Uniqlo will soon open additional stores at Heartland Town Centre in Mississauga and Bramalea City Centre in Brampton, both set to launch later this fall.
Aligning with Long-Term Growth Goals
Uniqlo’s GTA expansion aligns with its goal of reaching 200 North American stores by 2027. As of June 2024, it operated 23 stores in Canada and 58 in the U.S. More openings are planned in both countries.
Uniqlo also plans to open 20 new North American stores by the end of 2024, boosting its presence in key retail locations.
Uniqlo: A Global Leader in Affordable Fashion
Under the leadership of Daisuke Tsukagoshi, CEO of Uniqlo North America, the brand continues to focus on making quality, versatile clothing accessible.
According to Tsukagoshi, Uniqlo has experienced “incredible momentum throughout Canada,” fueling this phase of expansion. The new Sherway Gardens location is expected to meet the growing demand for Uniqlo’s popular LifeWear collection, especially as the holiday shopping season ramps up.
