MUJI to open massive store in Mississauga

Fans of minimalist Japanese design can soon rejoice because MUJI is venturing outside of downtown Toronto to open its second location in Mississauga's Square One Shopping Centre.

MUJI, meaning "no brand, quality goods," stocks a variety of furniture, houseware, clothing, stationery and and assortment of miscellaneous goods at competitive prices. It currently has one outlet in Canada, which is located in the Atrium on Bay.

The Square One store -- set to open in November, according to Retail Insider -- will be nearly 1,000 square-feet bigger than its Yonge and Dundas outpost. It'll feature an expanded furniture section as well as children's clothing and food, two items MUJI doesn't sell at its original Toronto outpost.

Along with its foray into Mississauga, MUJI plans to open up to eight additional stores in Canada within the next five years. And don't forget Japanese retailer Uniqlo is finally going to arrive in Toronto in 2016. This massive clothing emporium is slated to open at the Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Mall.

Are you happy MUJI's expanding? Let us know in the comments.
