It’s H&M’s third store in South Florida, just ten miles away from it’s new location on South Beach.

“It’s been a fantastic year with 43 openings in America and finally we are coming to Aventura in Miami. We are so happy,” said Daniel Kulle, President of H&M North America.  Kulle said he’s not concerned about the close proximity of both stores.

“With all the people living down here, all the tourists coming in and Miami being a very dense area, there’s a lot of money down here, we don’t see any problems that we can have a flagship down on Lincoln Road and a flagship in Aventura.”

The new 25,000-square-foot space opened at noon. About 100 people waited in line to be some of the first customers to snap up the company’s chic, affordable fashions that are the trademark of the Swedish retailer, whose full name is Hennes & Mauritz.
