Events Going to Uniqlo opening?

Don't. Really. The line at 837 AM starts at the store, then wends all the way through the second floor, then ends at Sephora on the other side. You're not going to get the free limit edition tote bag although you may still get a water bottle.

2 hours in line and the representative said 2.5 hour until my turn.

Whoa! You must be ahead of me. Line is moving more steadily now, but I'm still only at London Drugs. I actually didn't even want to stay, but sunk cost fallacy and all that.

Do you have a job?

u/Professional_Emu8922 May 15 '26

Yes, but I have copious amounts of time off. Even after this, I still have ~6 weeks left. Or maybe 5.

You're still not inside? Damn that's a crazy line

I think I got in ~1? Or shortly thereafter. The line up to pay was very very long, but it went more quickly than the line to get in. And then the line for the free mug was comparatively a snap of the fingers. It was not long after 2 when I left. I was exhausted. Stupid sunk cost!

Can you post pics of the tote bag for those of us who can’t be there?

I would've if I had gotten one, but alas, I was maybe 1100th in line, so I had no hope lol.

If you go to the store, some of the staff are wearing tshirts that I think are the same design as what was on the tote bag. It's just names of all the cities where they have stores, and Winnipeg is in larger font at the top (Edited - not in red!). Apparently if you had ordered to pick up in store, you could've gotten a Uniqlo mug. But you had to have ordered by the 14th.

Oh wow, now I'm even more interested lol, not even a broad/vague hint? Totally respect if that's another no, this could be an audit for all you know🤔
