Uniqlo to open Covent Garden store

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 has announced it will open a new store in Covent Garden as it continues its expansion across the UK.

The Covent Garden site will be its 17th store opening in the UK, following the Battersea Power Station store last month. It is located with entrances on Long Acre and Floral Street.

The 1,450 sq m, three floor store will feature menswear, womenswear, kids and baby.

Uniqlo UK COO Alessandro Dudech said: “It’s an honour to be opening in an area of London with such cultural and retail heritage and continuing to expand our UK presence in important retail locations.

“With such a strong footfall from both Londoners and tourists, we look forward to offering LifeWear to new and existing Uniqlo customers.”
