I've read some of you guys' posts saying that y'all want H&M there. Email H&M your ideas since the city council isn't listening to y'all.

Actually I did. A few months ago. I shop there every-time I visit NY. I have a feeling they will open up here in the near future. Galleria would be a good spot for them.

However, I just found this. Looks like they are eyeing spots in the Houston area after all .

It appears the retailer is getting down to business. Local commercial real estate sources tell CultureMap that H&M is in talks with leasing agents regarding space at The Galleria, Memorial City Mall and The Woodlands Mall. No deal has been inked yet, but an announcement regarding the openings is expected at the end of the year, with The Galleria location expected to be the first to open, sometime early next year.

Trae, you've been getting salty with me lately. Some of y'all just COMPLAIN too much; actions speak louder than words.

If they do build an H&M, I would guess you would probably see that going up in somewhere like the Woodlands before Downtown. One major criteria before a retailer or grocer builds in a particular area is a population base of a certain income within a certain radius. I worked for the developers of Silverlake so, so long ago when there was ZERO retailers. Residents were begging for simple things like a grocery store. Their pleas were met with the population in the xx percentile of income needs to be xxxx before we will build. That trend seems to follow suit everywhere.
