This is much bigger than I even realized. H&M will open three stores in Seattle by fall 2008:
H&M, Hennes & Mauritz, the design-driven clothing retailer known for quality high fashion style at affordable prices, announces its expansion into the Pacific Northwest region with three store locations opening in Seattle during fall, 2008.
So there will be three new H&M Stores in Seattle: University Village, Westfield Southcenter, and a downtown location on Pike Street.
The new two-level store location in the University Village lifestyle center, near the University of Washington, will measure approximately 19,000 square-feet giving students, and everyone who is interested in fashion, access to affordable and stylish trends.
H&M Westfield Southcenter will complement the revitalization of this super-regional mall with approximately 25,000 square-feet and two floors of shopping for the entire family.
A third store, located on tourist-favored Pike Street, will offer 16,000 square-feet of great fashion finds for the urban shopper.
H&M has around 1,500 stores in 28 countries around the world.
So H&M, what took you so long? I need you and Seattle needs you.
