Starbucks & Uniqlo are about to open in Milan

Two international giants, long considered among the big absents of Milan’s commercial landscape, are going to settle in Cordusio Square, a few steps away from Milan’s Dome.

The Italian newspaper Milano Finanza announced the news this morning, explaining that the spaces once belonged to Unicredit and Poste Italiane will soon be occupied by American coffee shop chain Starbucks and Japanese fast fashion giant Uniqlo.

They will be the very first Italian stores for the two brands and their opening is planned for next year. Ready to sip a frappuccino while wearing a Uniqlo sweater?
