Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo has confirmed it will open its first Welsh store at St David's shopping centre in Cardiff in autumn 2027. The new two-storey store will span approximately 940 square metres of sales floor space and will offer clothing for men, women, children and babies, as well as the company's LifeWear collections.

Uniqlo UK's chief operating officer Alessandro Dudech said the company was 'incredibly excited' about the expansion into Wales. He noted that Cardiff is 'a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage' and that Welsh customers already shop with the brand online. The opening will be part of Uniqlo's continued UK expansion, which also includes new stores planned for Bath, Brighton, Leeds and Canary Wharf in 2027.

The retailer currently operates 26 stores across the UK. St David's centre director Helen Morgan said there had been 'phenomenal demand from Welsh guests for UNIQLO' and expressed pride that the brand had chosen the shopping centre for its Welsh flagship store. No specific opening date beyond autumn 2027 has been announced.
