On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Uniqlo is set to make its city debut at Liverpool One taking a 25,000 sq ft space at the shopping destination early next year. 

The new store will follow the retailer’s trademark “experience-led style”, showcasing Uniqlo’s signature high-quality womenswear, menswear and kidswear collections as well as its range of bags and other accessories.

The store will include innovative features, such as self-service checkout areas and dedicated collection points. There will also be clothing repair, alteration and recycling services to help extend the life of Uniqlo clothing. 

Alessandro Dudech, COO at Uniqlo UK, said: “As Uniqlo continues to expand across the UK, we are dedicated to selecting the best locations to be the home of 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’re excited to continue to open in new cities and introduce our lifewear to the people of Liverpool for the first time; we look forward to connecting with our customers next year.”

Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Grosvenor, added: “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’re thrilled to be welcoming Uniqlo to Liverpool for the first time.”
