So I’m guessing you’ve hear the news. And you hear it hear FIRST!

SO exciting!

Swedish retailer H&M is heading for our little Aotearoa next year.

I got sent an email last night from the Aussie H&M PR team with a little heads up at the new about NZ. It was just an interim report about what is happening globally in the world of H&M, CEO, Karl-Johan Persson, mentioned it, almost in passing…

Next year, we plan to open stores in three new markets: New Zealand, Cyprus and Puerto Rico.

New Zealand. I have never been so happy to see those two little words! My husband and I had to re-read the press release a few times to just make sure we were reading it right!

Sharing the news on Facebook last night you guys LOVED it! So thanks so much for all the comments and shares – it seems you are just as excited about the news as I am!
