Today in The Seattle Times they mention that while H&M readies their first three local stores for opening later this year, they already see room for more:
“‘I don’t think we’ll stop with three,’ New York-based spokeswoman Lisa Sandberg said Tuesday while visiting Seattle. ‘There’s definitely room for expansion.’
As previously announced, H&M will open at Westfield Shoppingtown Southcenter, University Village and downtown Seattle. The store in Southcenter mall opens in the summer, followed by the others this fall.”
“Based in Sweden, H&M has been called the fashion world’s equivalent of Ikea because it sells trendy-yet-inexpensive clothes under its own labels. Prices start at $6 for T-shirts, $30 for jeans and $40 for blazers.”
H&M will open their Vancouver, B.C. store on May 22.
As with cities around the world Seattle must get ready for massive long lines, no parking, and overall craziness when H&M opens later this year.
