UNIQLO will open its second Winnipeg location at St. Vital Centre on August 21, the Japanese fashion retailer has announced.
The 15,000-square-foot store will open at 10 a.m. to kick off a weekend of community events.
Opening highlights include limited in-store offers, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a taiko drumming performance by Fubuki Daiko, and complimentary strawberry-matcha crullers from Crumb Queen and Maro Matcha lattes for the first 300 customers.
Opening day begins at 9:10 a.m. with complimentary crullers and lattes for the first 300 customers in line, followed by a taiko drumming performance at 9:40 a.m. and opening speeches and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9:50 a.m. before the store opens to customers at 10 a.m.
Exterior signage has already been installed on the facade of the former Hudson’s Bay department store, which closed in May 2025. The store will span multiple combined units inside the south Winnipeg shopping mall at centre court, but won’t operate out of the former HBC space.
UNIQLO, which now operates more than 2,500 stores worldwide, opened its first Winnipeg location in CF Polo Park in May.
