Casual clothing retailer Uniqlo is opening its largest Southeast Asian store in Manila, widening its bet on the fast-growing Asian economy.

The Fast Retailing Co., which owns the chain, debuted the 4,100-square-meter (44,100-square-foot) store in the city’s Makati business district on Friday. It dwarfs the 2,700-square-meter site opened on Orchard Road in Singapore two years ago, and takes the Philippines’ total store count to 52, the most in Southeast Asia and fourth-most outside Japan.
