Uniqlo at Union Station

When it is really hot outside - or really cold - we take our walk at Union Station. It is three levels of air conditioning and allows us to stay in the neighborhood to continue our morning routine.  We just need to get there and back, which is about 8 blocks away from our house. There are a lot of retail shops on every floor of the large building, and many have opened and closed over the years. We wondered what would be going in the blocked off space in the lower level food court area a few weeks ago. A new Samsung shop just opened there. On the third floor, a Legal Seafood is going in; on the first floor, a Cava restaurant is being built. On the other side of the main terminal floor a large space stood empty for quite some time. We noticed a lot of activity going on lately, but all the windows were covered. There was no signage to signal what it would be. So today when we walked by the space, there were banners in the window that this space would be a Uniqlo store that is opening in the fall of this year. We were not familiar with this brand, and looked it up when we got home. It is a Japanese label with very clean and trendy lines, with reasonable prices. My understanding is there are also stores in Virginia and downtown DC. I don't think it's a destination for me or my husband. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
