DENVER — Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo has announced plans to open its first Colorado outpost at Denver Pavilions. The 22,000-square-foot space will open in summer 2016.
The retail center is located along the 16th Street Mall in the Downtown region. Colorado’s first Henry’s Tavern also recently opened at Denver Pavilions.
Other activity at the center includes a major remodel at the 15-screen United Artists Theatre; the addition of Long Tall Sally; and the expansion of the H&M flagship to include a third level that features its new home accessories department and apparel designers. This H&M had also been the first one to open in Colorado in 2011.
Uniqlo operates about 1,500 stores worldwide, including 39 stores along both coasts in Western outposts like San Francisco and Los Angeles. The retailer also announced plans to open its first Washington State store at the Bellevue Collection in Seattle.
The Denver store will only be the second U.S.-based location that is not along a coast. Uniqlo also plans to open a store in Chicago along Michigan Avenue this fall.
Uniqlo sells casual apparel for men, women and children. Its newest store at Denver Pavilions will be the only outpost in the state for one year following the grand opening.
Denver Pavilions was represented by in-house by Susan Cantwell, and by Stuart Zall of the Zall Company in this lease transaction.
