H&M to open new store in Leeds retail park

H&M has opened a new store at The Springs, Thorpe Park, Leeds.

Covering a floor space in excess of 1544 sq m, based over two floors, the store will open its doors to customers at 11am on Thursday October 11.

On launch morning, the first 200 customers in the queue will receive an exclusive goodie bag.

Toni Galli, H&M’s country manager for UK and IE, said: “We are delighted to be opening a brand new store at The Springs, Thorpe Park, Leeds this October.

“We aim to provide our customers with the best shopping experience possible and we are confident that our new Leeds store will offer exactly this.”

Founded in Sweden in 1947, H&M opened its first UK store in 1976. Forty years later, the UK and Ireland portfolio has grown to include in excess of 264 stores.

With sustainability at the heart of its business model, H&M offers a garment collecting service worldwide, which was launched in 2013 and offers customers the chance to donate any unwanted clothes and textiles, by any brand, whilst shopping in-store.

All donated items are said to be recycled with zero per cent going to landfill.
