In May 1984, it opened a unisex casual wear store in Fukuro-machi, 

Naka-ku, Hiroshima, under
the name "Unique Clothing Warehouse".[5] Initially, the brand was going to be registered as a
shortened contraction of "unique clothing".[6] However, in 1988, during administration work in
Hong Kong for registering the brand, staff in charge of registration misread the "C" as "Q", and
that is how the brand name was born.[7] Tadashi Yanai then changed the store name to "uniqlo"
across Japan.[8] In September 1991, the name of the company was changed from "Ogori Shōji" to
"Fast Retailing", and by April 1994, there were over 100 Uniqlo stores operating throughout
Japan.[citation needed]
