Published: September 20, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team

MIAMI, FL — Uniqlo is building its first South Florida stores, and before the doors open it needs people. The Japanese clothing retailer has two Miami-area locations on the way, a two-level store at Aventura Mall and a street-front shop on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, and its own careers site is already posting grand opening jobs for both at $18 an hour for sales associates.

Two new stores, one hiring wave: here's what Uniqlo is paying, who it wants, and how to get your application in before opening day.

🏆 Uniqlo's First Miami Stores

Uniqlo announced the pair in January as part of a 15-store U.S. expansion, its first entry into the Miami market. The company's announcement named both addresses but said opening dates would come later, and that is still where things stand. Uniqlo's Lincoln Road opening page reads "grand opening coming soon," and Aventura Mall's directory lists the store as coming soon on the upper level.

The Aventura store takes over the former Urban Outfitters space and will run two floors, which the mall has pegged for late 2026. The Lincoln Road store fills the former Showfields space on the pedestrian mall, in the thick of South Beach foot traffic.

💼 The Jobs and What They Pay

This is not a "watch for postings" situation. Uniqlo's own listings are live and say plainly they are recruiting grand opening teams for the new locations. What's posted so far:

Retail Sales Associate, Aventura Mall: full-time and part-time, $18.00 an hour.
Retail Sales Associate, Lincoln Road: full-time, $18.00 an hour.
Retail Supervisor in Training, Lincoln Road: $21.00 an hour, leading associates on the floor.

For context, Florida's statewide minimum wage steps up to $15 on September 30, so Uniqlo's starting rate sits $3 above the new floor. The listings also advertise medical, dental and vision coverage for eligible employees, a 401(k) match, a 30 percent merchandise discount, commuter benefits and promotion reviews every three months. Parental leave and disability coverage are for full-time staff only.

✅ What You Need to Get Hired

The bar is reachable. Sales associates need a high school diploma or GED, or six months of retail experience. Full-time roles require at least 32 hours a week and open weekend availability, with religious exemptions considered. Expect to stand for long stretches and lift 25 pounds or more when freight comes in. Supervisor candidates need a diploma or GED, a bachelor's degree is preferred, and they should be comfortable working out discounts and percentages on the fly.

One practical note: think about the commute before you pick a store. Aventura sits on Biscayne Boulevard near the Broward line and the Brightline Aventura station, while a Lincoln Road shift means Miami Beach parking or a bus over the causeway. Pick the one you can reach every day.
