Japanese clothing giant Uniqlo plans to expand its European operations by opening its maiden store in Prague, Czech Republic, according to the Czech business newspaper Hospodářské noviny (HN).
Currently operating in 11 Western European countries, Uniqlo is actively looking for a prime location in Prague’s city center.
According to Tomáš Beránek, CZ Retail Advisors, the launch is likely to happen after 2026, citing the time required to secure a suitable site and complete necessary renovations.
Uniqlo's entry into Prague is a major step in its broader European strategy. The brand has zeroed in three potential locations for the flagship store. These include the Hybernia Palace on Náměstí Republiky, the former Komerční banka (KB) headquarters at 33 Na Příkopě Street and the Children’s House also on Na Příkopě Street.
