Uniqlo to open East Sussex store in 2027

A spokesperson said: "Uniqlo is pleased to announce the opening of Brighton, marking an exciting step in the brands continued growth across the UK.

"Located at Churchill Square, the new store will bring Uniqlo's LifeWear philosophy to one of the country's most vibrant and dynamic coastal cities.

"Spanning approximately 940 square metres across two floors, the store will showcase a wide range of LifeWear. Renowned for its creativity, individuality and strong sense of community, Brighton is a natural fit for Uniqlo, and the brand looks forward to becoming part of the city's thriving retail landscape and welcoming both new and existing customers to the store."

Alessandro Dudech, COO of Uniqlo UK, added: "We are delighted to see such strong demand for LifeWear across the country and remain committed to bringing our high-quality, innovative apparel to even more customers. Looking ahead, 2027 will be our most ambitious year of store expansion to date, with our newly-announced stores in Bath and Brighton joining previously-announced stores in Canary Wharf and Leeds. These new locations reflect our long-term investment in the UK market and our ambition to become an even more accessible destination for customers nationwide."

Uniqlo previously had a store in Brighton which opened in November 2002 in North Street. It closed shortly after on June 23, 2003 due to rising rents and the brand not yet being widely established in the UK.
