H & M coming to Foley

Posted

H&M, one of the world’s largest fashion retailers famous for offering fashion-forward apparel at affordable prices in a sustainable way, is thrilled to announce a new location in Foley. Measuring approximately 20,000 square feet, the new location at Tanger Outlet Foley is set to open in the fall of 2016. H&M is especially excited to expand its reach in Alabama, a growing market for the retailer, and add to the other location currently open in the state at Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville.

The new H&M location will offer Foley residents a one-stop shopping destination for quality clothing for the whole family, with collections for ladies and men, as well as separate “store within a store” sections for accessories and beauty. The Tanger Outlet Foley location will also carry H&M’s children’s collection for newborns to fourteen year olds. The breadth and variety of H&M collections make it easier for any consumer to find fashionable products, no matter their personal style. With an emphasis on design, quality, and sustainability, H&M offers inspiring, high fashion at an unbeatable value.

H&M prides itself on its support of local economies by adding jobs with each new location. As a continuously expanding brand, H&M constantly searches for new talent to grow within the company. With the opening of the Tanger Outlet Foley location, H&M is proud to add approximately 30 employees to the current, ever-expanding total of approximately 16,000 U.S. employees. The brand continues to grow in both new and existing markets while remaining focused on quality, high profitability and sustainability. In 2015, H&M was ranked number 21 on Interbrand’s list of 100 Best Global Brands and was selected by Great Place to Work as a top 25 Best Multinational Workplace. In 2016, H&M was also named by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the sixth year. For available job opportunities, please visit career.hm.com.

Sustainability is an integral part of H&M. The brand is growing and making significant long-term investments for sustainable development. In 2013, H&M launched Garment Collecting, an in-store clothing recycling project and was the first global fashion company to implement such a program. Since 2013, approximately 53.6 million pounds of garments have been collected globally. H&M was also selected in 2015 as a U.S. EPA Green Power Leadership Award winner. The company has committed to sourcing renewable energy wherever possible in order to reduce indirect emissions stemming from the company's purchased electricity use.

Since H&M opened the doors to its first U.S. store on New York’s Fifth Avenue 15 years ago, the U.S. has been one of the retailer’s most successful markets. H&M is proud to offer U.S. consumers quality fashion at competitive prices at its 417 locations across the country, and looks forward to continued expansion at the best properties worldwide.
