UNIQLO has launched four new stores nationwide this year as part of its expansion project. Alessandro Dudech, COO of UNIQLO UK, said: "As UNIQLO continues to expand across the UK, we are dedicated to selecting the best locations to host our brand.

"Investing in Liverpool, a leading UK shopping destination was a natural next step, and Liverpool ONE was the obvious choice given the unique opportunity to open a prominent, showstopping space on Paradise Street.

"We are excited to continue to open into new cities and introduce our lifewear offering to the people of Liverpool for the first time. We look forward to connecting with our new customers during Spring next year."

Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Grosvenor, said: "UNIQLO is yet another international fashion powerhouse taking a showcase space on Liverpool ONE's Paradise Street.

"Creating a bold, compelling hub of best-in-class international brands has long been our strategy, playing to the needs and wants of our diverse mix of domestic and international visitors, and we are thrilled to be welcoming Uniqlo to Liverpool for the first time."
