Japanese global apparel retailer UNIQLO has announced the opening of a second store in Mumbai, to be located at Oberoi Mall in Goregaon East. The new store, scheduled to open on October 20, represents the latest in the company’s strategic expansion in India. This comes after a two-week period following the previous announcement of UNIQLO’s first Mumbai store, which is set to open at Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla, on October 6.
“We are committed to being an integral part of the Mumbai community”, said Tomohiko Sei, Chief Executive Officer, UNIQLO India. “Over the past few years, we have built a robust retail landscape in the North and we are now ready for our expansion in the West, making our LifeWear collection accessible to more customers in India.

UNIQLO in Oberoi Mall, Goregaon will be positioned on the ground floor with a total sales area of approximately 7,500 sq. ft., and features prominent branding, visible from the mall entrance. The clothes will be showcased on a high wall display, bringing the store’s modern and innovative design appeal to life.
