FLUSHING — The Japanese retailer Uniqlo is opening its first Queens outpost this spring at The Shops at Skyview Center.

The brand — which has stores in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island including a flagship shop on Fifth Avenue — signed a deal on a 8,000-square-foot space and should open in the next few weeks, according to a spokeswoman for the Flushing mall.

Uniqlo is known for its well-made basics and graphic T-shirts and will "continue the momentum" for the retail and residential space on College Point Boulevard, according to the developer. 

“We foresee Uniqlo bringing more style and value options to the Queens community upon joining our home of the most recognized style-savvy brands," Michael Dana, president of Onex Real Estate Partners, owner and developer of The Shops at SkyView Center, said in the announcement.

The 700,000-square-foot mall is also home to a Nordstrom Rack, Forever 21, Restoration Hardware and Nike Clearance Store, as also has restuarants and a supermarket. 

The Shops at SkyView Center, 40-24 College Point Blvd., Flushing, NY 11354.
