You know, that Uniqlo, they got clothes, right? My granddaughter, she loves that store. Says it’s the bee’s knees. Me? I just like clothes that don’t fall apart after you wash ’em once. But I heard somethin’ the other day, somethin’ about a Uniqlo sister store. Like a family, you know? This one, they call it GU. Sounds like a baby talkin’, don’t it? GU, goo goo.

Anyways, they say this GU place, it’s even cheaper than Uniqlo. Can you believe it? Cheaper than cheap! I thought Uniqlo was cheap, but then they say it is Uniqlo’s sister brand. They say this GU is where you get all them trendy things. Now, I don’t know much about trendy. I like a good solid color, somethin’ that hides the dirt, you know? But these young folks, they like all them fancy patterns and whatnot. They say that GU is cheaper than Uniqlo because it is more trendy.
They tell me that the young people, they like that SHEIN, and they buy Forever 21, whatever that is. And Old Navy, American Eagle and H&M. I don’t know about those shops. Old Navy? I know Old Navy, that was a man down the street. Always wearin’ the same blue pants. Never knew he had a store! But hey, if it’s cheap clothes, I ain’t gonna complain. But I guess that Uniqlo is not cheap enough for young people.
Now, this Uniqlo, it’s all the way from Japan. That’s what that boy, Xiao Li, told me. He’s always readin’ on that internet thing. Says everything’s cheaper over there in Japan. Even that Uniqlo. He went all the way to Japan to find the cheapest UNIQLO. He’s a good boy, that Xiao Li. Always lookin’ for a bargain. Reminds me of my husband, God rest his soul. He could squeeze a penny till it screamed! So, Uniqlo comes from Fast Retailing Company. I don’t know what that means. But they have good quality clothes with low prices.
They say that Uniqlo is high quality. I guess that is why it is not that cheap. But, GU, that’s the real deal if you’re lookin’ to save a buck. They got all sorts of stuff there, I hear. Everything you can imagine. And they get new stuff all the time. Every day, they say! Who needs new clothes every day? I got a dress I’ve been wearin’ for twenty years, and it’s still good as new! Well, almost.
So, this GU. What is this? They say GU offer items that capture the mass trends of the times. What does that mean? But it is cheaper than Uniqlo, that’s what they say. And it is reliable quality. I don’t know about these new words.

- They say GU got stuff for the whole family.
- Men, women, kids, even the dog, maybe!
- Just kidding about the dog.
- But they do have a lot of choices, they say.
- Thousands!
Now, I ain’t never been to one of these GU stores. I just heard about ’em. But if you’re lookin’ for affordable clothing stores, that’s what they say. If you are looking for cheap clothes, and you like that Uniqlo, you might wanna check out this GU place. Might save yourself enough to buy a whole pie! And who doesn’t love pie? I like apple pie, myself. With a good scoop of ice cream on top.
But yeah, clothes. That’s what we’re talkin’ about. Uniqlo sister store, GU. That’s the word on the street. Or, well, the word in my kitchen, anyway. Heard it from that Xiao Li boy. He’s always got the scoop on these things.
I still think the best clothes are the ones that last. But these young folks, they like to change their clothes like they change their socks. Every day, somethin’ new. Me, I like a good, sturdy pair of pants and a shirt that doesn’t show the gravy stains. But hey, to each their own, right?
If you go to that GU, let me know what you think. I am just too old for those new stores. I like my old clothes. But you young people can try it. Maybe I will ask my granddaughter to take me there one day. Maybe.
