Japanese casual clothing retailer Uniqlo yesterday confirmed plans to enter the Hub market in the fall.
But the company, which planted a U.S. foothold in New York in 2006, wouldn't disclose when and where.
"We plan to open a couple of stores in the Boston market in the fall, and the specific opening dates or where … is still being determined," said Larry Meyer, CEO of Uniqlo USA and senior vice president of Japanese parent company Fast Retailing. "It's a great city. I think there's an appreciation for our fashion."
The Herald reported last month that plans submitted to the city by Faneuil Hall Marketplace operator Ashkenazy Acquisition included Uniqlo as a tenant for one of two new two-story tenant spaces in a proposed redesign of Quincy Market.
Meyer declined comment on whether Uniqlo had a deal with Ashkenazy. "We're in talks with quite a few landlords in the Boston area," he said. "It's not unusual for landlords to put our name on various lease plans."
Billed as the world's fourth largest clothing retailer, Uniqlo has 1,300-plus stores in 14 markets worldwide, including 17 in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California. Yesterday, it said it would open five more U.S. stores this spring and enter the Philadelphia and Los Angeles markets, in addition to Boston, in the fall.
The company typically first opens a flagship store in a new market and then expands in close proximity, to area malls, for example.
"We're very pleased with the performance of all (U.S.) stores," Meyer said. "There is enough interchange between New York — Manhattan, particularly — and Boston, that my sense is people from Boston know our stores and products."
