On Friday morning, a long line formed outside of the store ahead of the 9 a.m. opening. The first 100 people in line received a $20 gift card for Uniqlo.
The store will open to customers at 9 a.m. Friday, and the first 300 customers in line will receive free coffee and cookies from Figaro Coffee House.
Uniqlo opened its first store in Ottawa at the Rideau Centre last June.
