dfwcre8tive Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 H&M opening first Texas store at Dallas' NorthPark Center07:04 PM CDT on Tuesday, October 26, 2010By MARIA HALKIAS mhalkias@dallasnews.comhttp://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/102710dnbushm.154fc0d.htmlIt's finally official. NorthPark Center is getting Texas' first H&M store.The Swedish fast-fashion retailer plans to open a 24,000-square-foot store at NorthPark in the second half of 2011....It's likely that NorthPark won't be the only store H&M opens in Dallas over the next few years. It has about 200 stores in the U.S., including 10 in both Manhattan and Chicago, five in Atlanta and three in St. Louis....In Dallas, it could be moving into the space vacated in January by upscale furniture retailer Robb & Stucky. That two-level furniture store opened in 2006 as part of NorthPark's $225 million expansion.Known for its low prices, H&M isn't exactly the upscale coup that NorthPark brags about scoring, as it does with its recent Gucci opening. But it battles with Galleria Dallas and a plethora of regional malls and shopping centers in the market to secure the first-in-the market stores, especially if the concept has the cool factor associated with H&M....

Ross Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yawn. I saw them in the middle East and wasn't impressed. But then, I'm not a fashion guru, and I'm far from trendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if H&M lands in Dallas, expect TopShop to follow (the British version of H&M).TopShop has been trying for a long time to open a bunch of locations in New York, but keeps getting the run around from greedy landlords. So it finally got sick of being taken advantage of, and instead of expanding in New York it's looking for other American cities to open stores in. It's already found a place in Chicago. Either Dallas or Houston would seem to be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbancowboy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well, when they come to Houston, hopefully they will locate either downtown in the Pavillions or at Main Place, even West Ave would be okay. Chances are they will probably go to the Galleria area or Memorial City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I would expect that the odds of them going somewhere other than the Galleria or Memorial City areas would be low. They traditionally open their first store in a market in a high visibility location and then open further locations after a couple of months.The first store will generate a lot of free publicity for whoever gets it.
