DENVER (DP) - Colorado's first and much-anticipated H&M clothing store will open at noon on Nov. 10 in the former Niketown space inside the Denver Pavilions on the 16th Street Mall.
The Sweden-based company, Hennes & Mauirtz AB, made the date announcement Monday, saying the new store's staff is ready for the onslaught of shoppers that have long awaited the store's opening.
H&M has also announced that it will open a second location in the Cherry Creek mall some time next spring. It's not known exactly where the fashion-forward value-oriented store will be located in Cherry Creek, but general manager Nick LeMasters has said it will not occupy any of the anchor space vacated by Saks Fifth Avenue.
H&M's first metro-area location could see lines swell well before the noon store opening due to what's been called as "anticipated demand" by Denver retail experts.
H&M does not have an on-line ordering system, so shoppers need to visit brick and mortar stores to buy men's, women's and children's clothing that's known as cheap chic.
