Popular Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo will open its first two stores in the Sacramento region just in time for fall.

Both locations will feature special deals and giveaways for shoppers when they open, the global retailer wrote in a news release.

“These store openings are part of Uniqlo’s continued growth in North America,” Uniqlo said, adding that California and Texas have led the charge on the brand’s “investment in brick-and-mortar retail.”

“This expansion follows a period of significant growth during the 2023 fiscal year,” Uniqlo representatives said, with more than 20 new locations planned for this year.
