MANILA, Philippines – Uniqlo fans, you better get ready. The country and Southeast Asia’s biggest Uniqlo store will be open at Glorietta 5 beginning Friday, October 5.
The space, at over 4,000 square meters, joins the ranks of other global flagship stores at New York's Fifth Avenue, London's Oxford Street, Paris' Opera District, Ginza in Tokyo, and Orchard Road in Singapore.
It’s Uniqlo’s 15th global flagship store to date.
The store has two floors — the first is home to your usual Uniqlo basics, including AIRism and HEATTECH pieces. You’ll also find more high-end Uniqlo pieces here — cashmere and 3D knit included.

Up on the second floor are pieces from Uniqlo U, Uniqlo UT, and other Uniqlo collaborations. It's also here where the more fun side of the flagship store can be found. Play a round or two of Jump Force by Bandai Namco entertainment – the game will be released in 2019 yet but Uniqlo Manila visitors can experience it exclusively at the flagship store.

Another thing to catch on the 2nd floor is an art installation by artist Leeroy New, a part of Uniqlo Manila’s Our Future is Here campaign.
If you’re tired of shopping, there’s a terrace on the second floor with pieces by Filipino designer Kenneth Cobonpue.
