Uniqlo BGC Opening 2025

<p><strong>Uniqlo</strong> marks its grandest store opening of the year with the unveiling of the refreshed <strong>Uniqlo BGC High Street Store</strong>. Designed for Life, the reimagined four-story space embodies the brand’s LifeWear philosophy, bringing functionality, comfort, and design to the heart of Bonifacio Global City.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17629084039355.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">The refreshed four-story Uniqlo BGC store</span></span></span></div><p>The transformation of the former Uniqlo C3 Annex into a 2,949 sqm lifestyle destination redefines the shopping experience for the modern Filipino. The store’s new facade, featuring a striking LED-lit Uniqlo red logo, mirrors the sleek, global look of the brand’s flagship stores in Tokyo and beyond.</p><p>“Uniqlo BGC High Street is a landmark in continuing to elevate the overall LifeWear shopping experience for customers. We wanted to bring together the best of Uniqlo’s global store design and the local character of Bonifacio Global City, resulting in a lifestyle hub that feels both world-class and deeply connected to the community,” says <strong>Geraldine Sia,</strong> Chief Operating Officer of Uniqlo Philippines.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17629084338776.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Lifestyle content creator Chynna Lim and business owner Luigi Posadas</span></span></span></div><p>The store opening gathered personalities who reflect BGC’s dynamic energy and the lifestyles LifeWear caters to—<strong>Solenn Heussaff, Luigi Posadas, Patrick Curitana</strong>, and <strong>Chynna Lim</strong>—each representing distinct facets of comfort and everyday wear.</p><p>Beyond retail, the store highlights creativity, sustainability, and convenience. The <strong>UTme! </strong>corner allows customers to design their own custom T-shirts, while the <strong>RE.UNIQLO Studio</strong> offers repair and embroidery services to extend the life of beloved wardrobe staples. These sit alongside the <strong>Click &amp; Collect </strong>service, providing a seamless bridge between Uniqlo’s online and in-store experiences.</p><p>Uniqlo also deepens its connection with the BGC community through collaborations with local partners. For the reopening, the brand teamed up with Cats of BGC for limited-edition embroidery patches and invited local artists—including Avin Doodles, Bonifacio Arts Foundation, Inc., and Jasmin Lacay—to design exclusive UTme! prints inspired by the city’s energy and creativity.</p><p>In this <strong>Metro</strong> exclusive, we sit down with Geraldine Sia, the Chief Operating Officer of Uniqlo Philippines, to get to know how this new store transforms the way we shop. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17629084682174.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner"></span></span></span></div><p>From left to right: General Manager of BGC High Street, Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation Valerie Ignacio, UNIQLO Philippines Store Operations Head Hideto Hashimoto, UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia, UNIQLO BGC High Street Store General Manager Allison Juan, UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Osamu Ikezoe, UNIQLO Philippines Area Manager Jari Bungabong</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Metro.Style: It’s a very exciting day today and we’re here at the Uniqlo BGC High Street Store.

If you look outside, we now have the iconic red Uniqlo logo, which I believe will become a new landmark here at BGC. Inside, we’ve completely reimagined the Uniqlo BGC concept.

We want LifeWear pieces to support the way people live, not just in function but also in creativity and self-expression.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>MS: This reopening comes at a time when customers are looking for more than just retail.
