Spanning over three floors, the outlet offers a balanced apparoach for the whole family.

In conjunction with the store opening, Uniqlo also collaborated with local artist Red Hong Yi to create a special edition design called Red Flower.
The design serves as a symbol of Uniqlo celebrating everyone.
Uniqlo entered the Malaysian market with this outlet 13 years ago and this is the first time it has gone under a refurbishment exercise to introduce new concepts for the market.
Uniqlo is currently renovating its new and largest outlet in Kuala Lumpur City Centre slated for opening early next year.
