H&M First store Vietnam
A different kind of traffic along the streets of Dong Khoi and Ly Tu Trong when Ho Chi Minh City greeted locals bright and early on the 9th of September, as over 4,000 queued for the grand opening of H&M’s very first store in Vietnam. The long-awaited store finally opened its doors at 11am Saturday morning, filled with dance and music, surprises and opening offers, making fashion and quality at the best price in a sustainable way now accessible to everyone in Vietnam!
The new store opening was highly anticipated with customers queuing from 10pm the night before to be among the firsts to grab hold of the extensive fashion items on offer. Right before the official opening hour, a pre-opening count down party with live DJ performances and signature H&M staff dance was enthusiastically enjoyed by all queuers. Besides giving away the limited edition H&M Vietnam tote bag with H&M goodies to the first 1,000 customers in line, H&M also surprised and excited the crowd with 3 giant gift cards of VND 6 mil, 4 mil and 2 mil to the 3 luckiest shoppers.
H&M’s Country Manager for Southeast Asia, Fredrik Famm; Sales Manager for Vietnam, Anne Soderberg; and Store Manager, Nguyen Kieu Oanh, officially cut the ribbon and welcomed the first eager shoppers.
“We have been waiting for this day for a long time and the response from our customers in Vietnam was definitely worth the wait! I am proud to welcome shoppers to our very first store and we are pleased to offer our customers added value through fashion, quality, and sustainability at the best price in a sustainable way,” says Fredrik Famm.
