FREE Breakfast for the First 300 Customers in Line (May 15 Only)
Opening day at Uniqlo kicks off bright and early, rewarding the most dedicated shoppers who arrive ahead of the official opening. The first 300 customers lined up between 9:10 AM and 9:35 AM will receive a complimentary breakfast to start their morning. This special offering includes freshly baked cookies from Gunn’s Bakery paired with refreshments from Little Sister Coffee Maker, making it a great way to fuel up before heading into the store. There’s no purchase required to take part, but quantities are limited and capped at one per person, so arriving early is key if you want to take advantage of this opening day perk.
Traditional Japanese Taiko Drumming Performance (May 15 Only)
As the excitement builds toward the official opening, visitors will also get to experience a vibrant cultural performance that reflects Uniqlo’s Japanese roots. From 9:40 AM to 9:50 AM, the powerful sounds of taiko drums will take over the space thanks to a live performance by Hinode Taiko. Known for their energetic and rhythmic style, the group delivers an engaging show that blends music, movement, and tradition. It’s a short but memorable performance that adds a unique cultural element to the grand opening atmosphere and is well worth catching if you’re arriving early.
FREE Tote Bag for First 500 Customers (May 15 Only)
Once doors officially open at 10:00 AM, the focus shifts to one of the most anticipated giveaways of the day. The first 500 customers to enter the Uniqlo store at CF Polo Park will receive a free exclusive tote bag created specifically for this location. This limited-edition item is not available for purchase and is only being distributed during the grand opening, making it a must-have for collectors and early visitors. With demand expected to be high, those hoping to secure one will want to line up well in advance.
FREE Travel Mug with $99 Minimum In-Store Purchase
The grand opening celebrations continue throughout the weekend with an added incentive for shoppers planning to browse the latest collections. From May 15 to May 17, anyone who spends $99 or more in-store before tax will receive a free handle travel mug with a built-in straw. The mugs come in black, grey, or white, with colours distributed at random. This gift-with-purchase offer is available while supplies last and is limited to one per customer, making it a nice bonus for those already planning to shop during opening weekend.
Test Your Luck With the Japanese Lottery Game Garapon
Adding an interactive element to the event, Uniqlo is bringing a traditional Japanese lottery experience to Winnipeg with the Garapon game. Running daily from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM between May 15 and May 17, this activity gives customers a chance to win prizes with a simple spin. Anyone with the Uniqlo app can participate and receive one free spin per day, with no purchase necessary. Prizes vary and are distributed at the discretion of staff, adding a fun sense of surprise to each visit. It’s a great reason to stop by during the afternoon if you missed the morning rush or want to extend your grand opening experience.
