How brave of Uniqlo!

The Japanese global apparel brand announced it will open its first roadside, non-mall store in the Philippines sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter this year.

It's the second of its kind in Southeast Asia and it will be located in Muntinlupa City's central business district, Westgate, Alabang.

“We are honored and excited to have the chance to bring our first roadside retail store concept in the Philippines. We are confident that this new model will be able to offer great convenience to the community and deliver UNIQLO’s signature LifeWear pieces to more Filipinos,” UNIQLO Philippines COO  Masayoshi Nakamura said.

Uniqlo Westgate Alabang roadside store features a spacious parking area for customers which aims to provide a "brand new and world-class shopping experience for all shoppers."

It's also a one-stop shop for both residents of the city and its nearby provinces. The store will offer LifeWear pieces for men, women, kids and babies. — LA, GMA News
