Japanese lifestyle brand, MUJI, will be opening another store in NYC. This time the store will open in midtown Manhattan on 59th street. The new location will be the third largest in the country, spanning 11,800 square feet of retail space with rustic wooden beams made from reclaimed materials.
To celebrate the grand opening on the July 4 holiday, MUJI will give away tote bags filled with free MUJI products to the first 100 customers. Additionally, the first 300 customers who spend twenty-five dollars or more will receive a free MUJI gift. Throughout the holiday weekend, MUJI will also provide red, white, and blue Japanese shaved ice by Bonsai Kakigōri to the first 1,000 customers each day to celebrate. We had the shaved ice at the grand opening and it was delicious!
The new store is beautiful and equipped with just about everything. Shoppers will be able to find apparel, childrenswear, kitchenware, tableware, furniture, interior and storage accessories, stationery, skincare, bags, suitcases, plants, and books, all under one roof. MUJI 59th Street also provides a wide range of services, including
MUJI Embroidery Service
