H&M opening Thursday in SouthPark

Tuesday is Election Day, of course, but we all know the real news this week is H&M's new store in SouthPark mall opening Thursday.

The store, H&M's third location, is set to open at noon. Here's what H&M says about the new store: "Join us on November 6th at noon for the launch of our brand new store at Southpark Mall in Charlotte, NC. If you're one of the first 200 shoppers in line, you will receive an all-access fashion pass valued up to $300 off your entire purchase! Bring in old garments to be recycled before the store opens at noon for the chance to win an H&M gift card valued between $50 and $100. Get ready to do some serious shopping to our in-store DJ spinning all the latest hits!"

Previous H&M openings at Northlake Mall and Carolina Place have drawn big crowds, with hundreds of people waiting in line for a chance to shop. The H&M store at SouthPark is located in the Macy's wing.
