The Japanese brand is known for its signature “LifeWear” and has stores in Rundle Mall and Westfield Marion.
At the time, Cohen Group chief executive officer, Gregg Downer said the announcement further cemented Burnside Village as Adelaide’s leading retail destination.
“Our priority has and will always be to our customers, as we strive to offer them the very best in retailing and lifestyle in South Australia,” he said.
“To deliver UNIQLO as one of the world’s most recognised brands means our customers will have access to high-quality, innovative apparel.”
Following renovations, Zara’s flagship store reopened in November 2024 with the brand’s latest retail concept, including an app to reserve a fitting room and an assisted checkout area.
Construction on the development began in June 2023 and is expected to be complete this year.
