Overview

  • Mayor Daniel Lurie announced the retailer’s comeback on Monday and identified the 801 Market Street address.
  • The company has not given a specific opening date for the San Francisco store, with media reports citing a 2026 timeline for an 11-store U.S. rollout.
  • The Market Street space has been vacant since Old Navy left two years ago.
  • Uniqlo previously closed its three-floor Union Square flagship at 111 Powell Street in 2021 after more than a decade in San Francisco.
  • The expansion also includes four new stores in New York City and six other flagship locations.
