HOUSTON — Japanese retailer UNIQLO is making its debut in Texas with two locations opening in the Houston area.
Memorial City Mall will be home to the area's first UNIQLO location-- opening on Friday, Oct. 11.
The Houston area's next location comes only a week after on Friday, Oct. 18 at First Colony Mall in Sugar Land.
