MUJI opened in SoMa November 30, 2012 at 540 9th Street at SoMa, San Francisco; this is the Japanese retailer’s first West Coast store. The 2-story space is 7,250 square feet and offers up more than 2,000 products. Prices are reasonable for most items—a notepad, fancy pen, and oddly shaped post-its costed less than $10 total. The wool jackets we looked at were around $120.
If you get a chance to hit up the store today (special hours are from 11AM to 8PM today only, with regularly hours of 10:30AM to 8PM from Monday to Saturday and 11AM to 6:30PM on Sundays starting tomorrow), MUJI is giving away a reusable bag (retail value $1) that has a nifty map of some of San Francisco on it. If you are in the area be sure to check them out.
