In June 1984, the first UNIQLO store opened its doors, demonstrating the viability of the manufacturer-retailer SPA model, which controls every aspect of product planning, production, distribution, and marketing. By offering surprisingly affordable, high-quality casual apparel for men, women, and children, UNIQLO experienced phenomenal growth. People can easily pair our garments with their own distinctive styles in any way they like, any day of the year, as they are basic, simple, and universal.
