This momentous occasion not only heralded the arrival of Uniqlo’s fifth Queensland outpost and the 38th nationwide but also signalled the first for Brisbane’s vibrant southside.

For many devoted fans like one shopper who took the day off work to secure her coveted spot at the front of the line, Uniqlo represents more than just a brand – it’s a lifestyle.

Expressing her excitement at having a Uniqlo store within easy reach, she spoke of her long-standing affinity for the brand and her eagerness to explore its offerings firsthand. Arriving early in the morning, she was determined to be among the first to step foot inside the eagerly anticipated store.

Another shopper underscored the convenience of having a major shopping destination nestled outside the bustling CBD. For her, Westfield Mt Gravatt offers the perfect blend of accessibility and variety, catering to her diverse needs, whether it’s stocking up on groceries, refreshing her wardrobe with Uniqlo’s latest collection, or indulging in a literary escape at the nearby library.
