Japanese lifestyle brand Uniqlo will launch its first physical location in Canberra later this year, following demands from Canberra residents. 

The 1210sqm store will feature the entire LifeWear range, including ’23 Spring Summer Collection, six self-check-out machines, and 12 changing rooms for consumers to try on the apparel. 

The company is looking for roles including sales associate partner, store administrator and alterations specialists.

Uniqlo accelerated its expansion plans last year by introducing a new brick-and-mortar store in Adelaide’s Myer Centre.

On Monday, news emerged that an internal audit by Uniqlo Australia had revealed staff underpayments dating back seven years, and the brand is currently contacting impacted employees to arrange remediation.
