With job listings now posted on their website, I can now confirm that clothing retailer H&M is planning to open a 20,600 sq. ft. store at Bridge Street, just north of the bridge next to Chicos and under Pinz, the entertainment center formerly known as The Zone. This will be the Swedish company's first store in the Southeast outside Atlanta, North Carolina and Florida. It is expected to open this summer.
H&M, famous for selling trendy men's and women's clothing at low prices, has been expanding across Europe since the 1960s, but the first American store opened in New York City in 2000. Since then, the clothier has been expanding along the East and West Coasts, and is now opening stores in the country's interior.
Sweedish? Was totally hoping for Ikea. But, of course, Huntsville would need a billion more people for that.
ReplyDeleteTrendy men's and women's fashions at affordable prices? We already have numerous stores for that, it's called Walmart.
ReplyDeleteUm, H&M is a HUGE deal in New York. I am disgusted that anyone just compared it to Walmart. Somebody clearly needs to do some research...
ReplyDeleteThis person just compared H&M to walmart........please H&M clothes are no where in comparison to the garbage the sell at warlmart...please go somewhere else with that.
ReplyDeleteH&M's nearest 'fast fashion' competitor is XXI Forever - not the general merchandiser Wal*Mart.
