The new space will measure approximately 42,500 square feet and will include collections for ladies and men and children. The H&M brand will now be a part of the iconic New York City skyline with LED H&M signage at the very top of the building measuring 70 feet by 70.
"H&M believes strongly in the New York City market. Since opening our first US store in Manhattan in 2000, we will now have 13 stores in Manhattan alone in 2013 and over 250 across the country", says Daniel Kulle, U.S. President for H&M.
"Opening this new concept store in Times Square, the crossroads of the world, shows our commitment to opening in the best locations as well as our continued potential to open stores in Manhattan and the greater New York City area. This new H&M location will join our new flagship store on Fifth Avenue as world-wide shopping destinations."
H&M is delighted to continue its expansion in its first U.S. city, and recently announced that it will open a store in The Shops at Columbus Circle located at the prestigious Time Warner Center, at the end of this year, as well as its new flagship store at 589 Fifth Avenue, which will be the largest H&M store in the world measuring 57,000 square feet.
H&M offers U.S. consumers access to quality fashions at the best prices through 255 locations across the country. H&M has more than 2,600 stores in 47 markets worldwide.
