H&M Opens New Stores in Sabah and Klang Valley This Year

As if H&M wasn’t already one of the most prevalent high street brands in Malaysia and in the world, they are continuing their growth throughout Malaysia with new stores opening essentially everywhere (we’re not complaining of course).

Following the recent announcement of H&M’s anticipated openings at Quill City Mall in Kuala Lumpur and The Spring in Kuching this fall, today the Swedish fashion retail giant reveals the brand’s plans to carry on its expansion in Malaysia with the announcement of its approaching store opening at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya followed by the brand’s first store opening in Kota Kinabalu at 1 Borneo Hypermall later this year!

Located within Putrajaya, H&M’s new store at brand new retail destination, IOI City Mall will take up a one-storey shopping space of roughly 22,000 square feet. Residents of Putrajaya can now relish in the wide selection of full fashion concepts for men, women, children and youths within the accessibility of their own neighbourhood, as well as the brand’s freshly launched H&M Home collection which targets to bring style to the contemporary home, with everything from household fundamentals to ornamental touches.

H&M’s first store in Sabah celebrates the brand’s convenience in yet another state and will open at 1Borneo Hypermall in Kota Kinabalu. Advantageously located along the Jalan Sulaman Highway and celebrated for being Borneo’s first and largest lifestyle shopping mall, the new H&M store will offer fashion enthused Sabahans boundless style and affordable workout wear without compromising quality.

Since its introduction into Malaysia in 2012, H&M currently has 12 stores located across the Klang Valley, Penang, Malacca and Johor Bahru. With four stores scheduled to open this year, H&M will be present in new states Sarawak and Sabah with a total of 16 stores by 2015. Now – what’s next? World domination?
