Uniqlo has significantly renovated its Mokdong store in Seoul's southwestern commercial district and opened a new location at Lotte Mall Uiwang, aiming to expand customer engagement in the second half of the year.
On October 2, Uniqlo announced the reopening of the 'Uniqlo Hyundai Department Store Mokdong' and the launch of the 'Uniqlo Lotte Mall Uiwang.' These two stores mark the first openings for Uniqlo's Fall/Winter 2026 season.
The Hyundai Department Store Mokdong, which opened its first store in 2009, has undergone a renovation after 17 years, expanding to approximately 1,219.8 square meters (369 pyeong), making it the largest among the fashion brands in the department store.
Shopping convenience has been greatly improved, with fitting rooms increasing from seven to 22 and checkout counters expanding from four to 14. The store has also introduced an 'Order & Pick' service, allowing customers to pick up online orders on the same day, along with self-checkout kiosks. Inside the store, styling zones and enhanced visual content have been added to allow customers to experience Uniqlo's LifeWear brand philosophy throughout.
The newly opened Lotte Mall Uiwang is located on the first floor of the Lotte Premium Outlet Uiwang, targeting customers from the southern Gyeonggi area, including Uiwang, Anyang, Gunpo, and Gwacheon. The store features a full lineup catering to families, including women's, men's, kids', and baby clothing.
To celebrate the openings, Uniqlo is running a special promotion until October 5, offering select fall new products at discounted prices. Customers who spend over 100,000 won will receive a 'Uniqlo Wash Bag' on a first-come, first-served basis each day.
Prior to the store openings, Uniqlo also engaged in community service activities. Employees at the Hyundai Department Store Mokdong participated in environmental cleanup efforts with the Yangcheon Volunteer Center, while staff at the Lotte Mall Uiwang took part in housing improvement services for vulnerable communities with the social cooperative Misonae.
With the addition of the newly opened Mokdong and Uiwang stores, Uniqlo now operates a total of 135 locations nationwide.
