The retail scene in downtown Detroit received a boost Thursday as Swedish retailer H&M opened its newest store on Woodward Avenue. H&M announced plans for the downtown location in March, and represents the first full-line clothing store downtown since J.L.Hudson’s department store closed in 1983.
The store is H&M’s 19th in the state, its first in Detroit, and has 25,000 square feet of retail space spread across three buildings owned by Dan Gilbert's Bedrock Detroit.
In the morning, by 10 a.m., there was a long line of people awaiting for the noon grand opening.
