Still waiting on Shake Shack too

🤦

> “Opening soon” in Jersey City means years away. I keep my expectation low.

Yeah but I think beginning to rent an existing space in a mall is a whole different thing than a regular storefront. I think…we shall see.

The Hudson Yards Uniqlo is super tiny, too. Totally useless for menswear. The Fifth Avenue Uniqlo is the only one that has anything like a full stock of clothing, and it's a total zoo (and practically set up like a maze). Here's hoping the Newport one is full-sized and not crazy...

I think Paramus is gone

You must be skinny! Uniqlo is always tight for me

Not OP but there are signs up in the location where it will be saying "UNIQLO coming soon." It's on the first floor to the right of bath and body works

Yes, there is a sign in the first floor

Used to be one in Bridgewater Commons but it’s gone

Have also been wishing for Muji to open up ever since they closed up at Garden State Plaza

Their heat tech is not an item to skip. Three different levels of thickness and warmth. I have some lasted many many years.

I have noticed that some of their stuff feels rather thin and less durable than I would like.

But washing clothes in cold water and line drying them really helps extend their life. I never put anything from Uniqlo in the dryer to avoid the extra wear and tear.

Just mentioning this because I know a lot of people toss everything in the dryer out of habit.

The heattech, airism, and socks.

imo Uniqlo is a step up from Old Navy and Gap. Not the best quality but good for simple basics that will last for a bit.

Depends on what you want out of it, but their men's casual office wear is great. As far as I can tell they have cornered the market on men's work clothes for people who don't want (or need) to spend a mint on them, and just want something that is well-made and reliable and looks fine (not fashionable, but fine).

My husband loves their graphic Tshirts and denim, the quality is been great so far

Buy all my underwear and socks there, some dress pants, a jacket, heat tech, and a few T-shirt’s. Zero complaints.

I’m told in Japan they’re essentially thought of as local Old Navy, but for us here it’s a bit more chic because the fit and style is way better than ON, Gap, etc. They do simple really well.

It’s not great quality, but for trendy looking clothing it’s pretty cheap compared to their “competition”.

Quality on clothing in general has dropped like a rock in the past decade, on all but the very high end, so a dropping tide lowers all ships… or something like that. They’re all trying to compete with fast fashion.

their pure linen goods are always excellent and much cheaper than their competitors!

An Apple Store deal has been tried multiple times apparently, but failed ( I think the last attempt would have been where Zara's is, where they extended into the empty comon space).

NY has always considered NJ's "urban economic zone" to be questionable legally when setup right on it's border. NJ's not going to take a chance on letting NY test that in court. You could save a lot by going from the 14th Street or WTC Apple store to Newport to save on taxes for a family's iphone upgrade.

Apple doesn't want to be a court case, and they've got several stores within minutes by train, and just slightly further by car. So not much temptation to get involved in that mess.

Everyone in NYC already knows there are several Apple Authorized dealers who intentionally don't have a presence in NY so they don't have to collect sales tax. So ordering online is always an option too. Nobody self-reports items they didn't pay sales tax on.
