“Due to an unforeseen delay, our new store in Leeds will open later than originally expected”
Japanese casualwear retailer UNIQLO has confirmed its new Leeds store will not open as originally expected, with the new launch now pushed back to 2027.

“We look forward to updating customers with our opening date and bringing UNIQLO LifeWear to the local community soon.”
