By YURI KAGEYAMAForty years after its founding, Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo has more than 2,500 stores worldwide. The name Uniqlo comes from joining the words for “unique” and “clothing.” The chain’s basic concept is “LifeWear,” or everyday clothing. That was followed by our fleece boom, which doubled our revenue in one year to 400 billion yen. When we say Uniqlo is “made for all,” one might imagine products for the masses, like what’s at a Wal-Mart or a Target. We’ve been preparing to reach 3 trillion yen revenue all these years.
