The long wait is over – Swedish fashion retailer H&M is to open its first Philippine store next month.

Steven Tan, SM Supermalls premier division VP for operations, said the first H&M store will span more than 3000 sqm. It will be located inside SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

He said it will be followed by another three stores – at SM Makati, SM North and SM Mall of Asia.

H&M will join SM Group’s portfolio of international brands which already include Uniqlo and Forever 21.
