The Japanese ready-to-wear brand Uniqlo announced on Tuesday 18 April the opening of its first physical outlet in Luxembourg, at the former location of Zara on Grand Rue. The opening is scheduled for autumn.

A new store opening in the city is on the horizon for the end of this year with the announced arrival of Uniqlo, a Japanese ready-to-wear brand founded in 1974. It will occupy the building left vacant by the departure of Zara in June 2021, at number 22 Grand Rue.
