It started with h&m commercials once a month and I KNEW they were bringing it to dallas. It's the same here. I started seeing random commercials in the charlotte area and I got excited. I've been to the one in NYC only and I loved it. I appreciate the concept of the store. Trendy pieces for affordable prices. Trends come and go and I would hate to spend 100 bucks on something that was only in for a season or 2. H&M at least offers trends for A LOT LESS along with staple pieces. So I'm no charlottean but so what. Charlotte needs more options for clothing so everyone isn't waling around in the same thing. H&M lets you be creative and brings more personality to your wardrobe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552723854635747246.post-92177968859636695232011-02-04T09:53:15.907-05:002011-02-04T09:53:15.907-05:00The only people who truly think H&M is some ki...The only people who truly think H&M is some kind of shopping and fashion utopia are teenage girls, and fat middle-age women who think they are teenage girls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552723854635747246.post-86231302868253438082011-01-28T15:23:16.351-05:002011-01-28T15:23:16.351-05:00What a great idea to stimulate the American econom...What a great idea to stimulate the American economy - a Swedish company selling Chinese-made garbage.<br /><br />Hopefully Brooks Brothers will have some US hand-tailored stuff like their Golden Fleece and Black Fleece labels when they move to Phillips Place.

The Beverly Center isn't a mixture of cheap stores. So if H&M can thrive in the Beverly Center, it can do well here especially at South Park or Cotswold. I wouldn't put in in concord Mills where it would get loss in the crowd or in a site like IKEA where it would be a destination. Put the store where there is good traffic already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552723854635747246.post-80820251845110325362011-01-27T15:44:27.372-05:002011-01-27T15:44:27.372-05:00Ummmm, I am a native Charlottean and I have defini...Ummmm, I am a native Charlottean and I have definitely heard of them.

I think I may be too "old" for the "fashion" they offered. (:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
