Muji Australia managing director Takuo Nagahara was previously quoted by The Australian as saying that the company is anticipating good demand for its products in the region.
"We believe there is strong customer demand in Australia for the Muji brand. Australians are well travelled, already experiencing our existing stores across Japan, Asia, Europe and the USA.
"Muji products cater to the lifestyle of city urban dwellers. Thus, with this country’s growing economy we have great confidence," added Nagahara.
