UNIQLO is bringing a two-story store to Aventura Mall
UNIQLO will open a two-story mega store at Aventura Mall. The Japanese retailer is known for well-made, well-priced basics — clothing designed to be functional, versatile and long-lasting rather than trend-driven. A two-story format signals a larger-than-typical footprint, putting the brand among the mall's major anchor-tier tenants. Aventura Mall is one of the highest-volume shopping centers in the country, making it a flagship-caliber location for any retailer that lands there. No opening date has been announced.
