美国旅客有福利啦！优衣库在奥克兰机场设立自动售卖机

A fresh new shirt delivered at the push of a button is now on offer for travellers in the US.

Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo has installed a vending(贩卖的) machine selling clothing at Oakland Airport in California. Nine other machines will pop up at airports and malls at sites including Los Angeles, Houston and New York in the coming months. They will sell men and women's shirts and lightweight jackets.

Uniqlo USA CEO Hiroshi Taki said the technology brought "convenience to travellers looking for a warm jacket without a heavy undershirt". The company hopes the trick will help attract customers to the Asian brand, which has struggled in its attempts to win the US market.

Airports and malls were selected as high-traffic locations to help promote its selling besides its 45 stores in the country. The company has close to 1,900 stores worldwide selling inexpensive casual wear. The vending machines will be filled with best selling shirts at about $15 and lightweight jackets for about $70. The company is the world's third largest clothes retail company and also owns Helmut Lang and J Brand. There are no plans to use the vending machines outside the US.
