Japanese clothing chain UNIQLO has opened its store in Domy Towarowe Wars Sawa Junior in Warsaw. The two-storey store has been inaugurated on October 27.


Agata Bojas, UNIQLO Poland General Manager, stated: “I am very excited to introduce UNIQLO and our unique LifeWear concept in Poland, my home country. I believe our products, inspired by the Japanese values of simplicity, quality, and longevity, will appeal to Polish consumers. My colleagues and I look forward to welcoming customers and fans to our new store and offering everyone the best possible shopping experience.”

The entire area leased by UNIQLO in Domy Towarowe Wars Sawa Junior covers approx. 1,500 square meters of space (800 sqm of sales area) over two floors in the Junior building.

Scott Dwyer, Group Managing Director – Retail at Atrium European Real Estate, the owner of Domy Towarowe Wars Sawa Junior, commented: “UNIQLO's Polish market debut at Domy Towarowe Wars Sawa Junior is not accidental. The location is ideal for attracting fans of urban lifestyle. UNIQLO is an international brand in the best sense of the word and its presence will be attractive to both residents and tourists. This is undoubtedly one of the most exciting first-store openings on the retail map of Warsaw in recent years. I am proud that, as the owner of Domy Towarowe Wars Sawa Junior, we continue to reposition this unique place and we welcome Uniqlo into our unique tenant line-up.”

The new UNIQLO location is yet another step in the continued evolution of Domy Towarowe Wars Sawa Junior’s retail offer. In early September popular sport brand adidas opened its most innovative and region’s largest store covering 2,400 square meters of space across three floors in Sawa building.
