apanese global apparel retailer Uniqlo has announced a plan to open new stores in Riau Island’s Batam as well as Jakarta and Bekasi in West Java.
Slated for inauguration in September, the new openings will begin with Batam, marking the brand’s first presence in the city.
Naoki Kamogawa, president director of PT Fast Retailing Indonesia (Uniqlo Indonesia), said in a statement that the new store in Batam was expected to meet demand of the city’s residents who have to travel outside Batam to get the latest Uniqlo collections.
Fashion enthusiasts in Batam will soon be able to visit the Uniqlo store at Grand Batam mall in Penuin, Lubuk Baja district.
Following the store opening in Batam, Jakarta and Bekasi will welcome new Uniqlo stores.
