Japanese retailer, MUJI, will be reopening its original Toronto location on Dundas Street on November 23, its first flagship store in Eastern Canada.
Following the renovations this location will become the largest MUJI store outside of Asia, spanning more than 19,000 square feet of retail space spread over two floors. The previous store occupied just 5,658 square feet.
“During these four years since we expanded to Canada, we opened seven additional stores and gradually increased our range of products and services,” said Toru Akita, president of MUJI Canada. “By allowing us to reach out to more people and to further convey our philosophy, the Atrium flagship store will open a new chapter for MUJI in Canada. Through interactive events, innovative projects, and new partnerships, we wish to connect and evolve together with local communities and contribute to the creation of a better quality of life.”
This location will carry MUJI Canada’s full range of merchandise of more than 4,000 items — including household goods, apparel, and food. MUJI Atrium will be the only location in Eastern Canada to carry books, made-to-order curtains and rugs, the MUJI Labo collection, maternity wear, and a brand new activewear collection.
MUJI was founded in Japan in 1980 and has five stores in Ontario and three stores in B.C., including its first Canadian flagship in Vancouver.
