Uniqlo Joins Forces with Bic Camera for New "Bicqlo" Shinjuku Store

Like an Old Navy/Best Buy collaboration, Japanese retail giants Uniqlo and Bic Camera are combining their retail might into a single Tokyo store space called “Bicqlo.” This soon-to-be economic and tourist hotspot will encompass over 43,000 square feet and will staff over 450 employees — 100 of whom will speak English, Chinese, or Korean to help assist the tidal wave of global appeal towards Japan’s retail prowess. The store will be opening in the existing Bic Camera Shinjuku space on September 27.
