The long-awaited and HUGE (4 stories) H&M store opened on Broughton Street today. TV reports say there were several hundred people in line for the noon ribbon cutting. This is the biggest retail happening on Broughton Street in decades and the crown jewel of Ben Carter's $100 million remake of the street. Sure, H&M is decidedly down-market price and quality wise and pales to some of the other Carter stores like Micahael Kors, Kate Spade, Coach, Club Monaco and J Crew, but it's the only part of his project that occupies a new building from the ground up, and quite an impressive building it is.

Talking to managers of some of the newer stores on West Broughton, I know that they have been anxiously waiting for H&M to open and drive lots more foot traffic to their businesses. This really does change the dynamic of shopping in downtown Savannah.

Grand opening for new downtown Savannah H&M

Well, I've only walked in and walked out of the one in Pooler, which is just like an average mall store I guess, and have yet to visit the one on Broughton. But the downtown store is supposed to be one of the largest in the US and has a lot of departments that others don't apparently. Plus it's 4-stories and has escalaors etc! Plus lots of big street-level display Windows and cool achitecture. They really made an investment.

I will check out the Outlet store first, and then the Broughton. I have never been to an H& M.

Another take on H&M from Connect Savannah. What a piece of whiny crybaby ****!

Hey, H&M, it

I LOVE the reader comment at the bottom that "none of the new retailers on Broughton advertise in the Savannah Morning News." NEWSFLASH: *NOBODY* advertises in the Savannah Morning News anymore!

I love how these consumer liberals long for US retail, industry and manufacturing to return to "moral, sustainable, liveable wage-earning levels" of days gone by -- completely oblivious to the fact that it is THEIR GENERATION'S DEMAND FOR CHEAP DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS that makes that completely impossible!

Q. Why does the Savannah Morning News (and every newspaper across the nation) no longer have the LOCAL advertising revenue that made them profitable thus sustainable thus relevant?
A. Because of the MELLENIALS insatiable desire for INSTANT GRATIFICATION and replacement of tradition media models with sound bites delivered by the latest gizmo gadget deemed "cool" "hip" and "trendy."

H&M is bad? You CREATED THE CULTURE in which H&M thrives! So shut the ------

I'm done now!
