H&M’s first store in Puerto Rico
opens to excited customers
After months of anticipation, the first
H&M store in Puerto Rico, located in The
Mall of San Juan, has finally opened its
doors. More than 1400 H&M fans lined
up for over seven hours to be the first
inside the new store when it opened at
noon on June 9th. Customers were also
treated to a special appearance by model
Joan Smalls!
Daniel Kulle, President of H&M North
America, model Joan Smalls and
Store Manager Amanda Fuentes,
were there to cut the opening ribbon
along with the staff of the brand new location.
For the grand opening of this new market for the
retailer, the first 1,000 customers in line received
giveaways valued from $10 to $1,000 and 20 lucky
customers won a meet and greet with Joan Smalls
before the ribbon cutting. As part of H&M’s
Garment Collecting initiative, excited customers
who brought in garments to donate were entered
to win up to $1,000 in gift cards.
“We are thrilled with the amazing response we have
had from our customers here. This enthusiasm makes
us feel part of the local community”, said Kulle. “We
look forward to offering even more quality fashion
at the best price to the people of Puerto Rico through
our continued expansion here.”
“Seeing H&M arrive in San Juan is truly an exciting
and important moment for the people of Puerto Rico,”
said Joan Smalls. “I couldn’t be more excited to be
back home to help celebrate this amazing opening!”
H&M will continue to grow on the island with a
second store at Plaza del Sol located in Bayamon in
the fall of 2016. For more information, visit www.hm.com and follow the conversation using the official
