    That may be so but their Paris stores are a heck of a lot better stocked than any in Ireland

    Been in H&M's in 6 countries, Ireland doesn't have a patch on any of them, we don't even have the same selection of basic t-shirts never mind the new collections!

    H&M in Barcelona rocks, there are many different shops from La Rambla and Passeig de Gracia and in shopping centers all over Barcelona. Can get some really nice stuff in the Passeig de Gracia shop. Love the place.

    FYI
    H&M are going into the Academy Street development. They are taking the first unit at the Crawford Gallery end of the Street....i.e. opposite Meadows and Byrne.

    They have pulled out. Know a guy working on the development. A few more shops have pulled out too since H&M have.

    I hope not! Then again who would be insane enough to set up in this climate. Think there will be a lot of empty shops with the new cornmarket, academy and douglas village SC's. Cork will soon be a ghost town! Noticed a few closures in Mahon too

    They are originally a French chain of clothes shops. They do female, male and kids clothing. Been 2 one of them n Nice and Paris before and they have several levels, cool out. If they were comin 2 Cork,theyd either be setting up shop n that new shopping centre thats being built on Patrick St (where Dunnes used to be) or maybe further up beyond Debenhams.Like, theyre a big store so they wouldnt be relegated 2 some back arse of a street.

    French? Where the hell did you get that from? Swedish my dear!!

    Where do people get these rumours from? They are opening. Why else would they have ads on their own website looking for staff/managers etc for their new Cork store (see link below if any of you are interested in applying).

    Good to see renowned international outlets opening and creating employment!

    H&M = Boring Swedish retailer.

    Almost as boring and dull as Marks & Spencer. While consumers in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium etc kicked out M&S, forcing them to shut down, because their clothes were unfashionable and dull and their food was mostly unhealthy, over salted, fatty and full of sugar and other nasties, not to mention the food miles clocked up as virtually everything was trucked from Britain, H&M has survived sur le continent.

    So I suppose H&M is only about 90% as boring, dull and bad as M&S.

    One wonders when Cork will get some decent continental shops, like FNAC, Decathlon, Migros, Casino, LeaderPrice, etc?

    Patrick Street has been taken over by dull, rubber stamped, low quality, British chain stores over the past few years. Peddling their rubbish at inflated exchange rates (eg GBP = 1.50 EUR!!!).

    Patrick St now looks like any dull boring English city, complete with CCTV cameras everywhere. Minus the "Royal Mail" Post Office, for the moment. No doubt that will change too at the rate things are going...

    I think it doesnt really matter what country h&m is in(well maybe the price), it will totally depend on what ranges the store decides to do.

    Usually if the shop is in posher area they will concentrate on mainly having "woman's wear" if they consider it young and funky they will have the "divided" range which I am hoping for! or if its a big store they will have both...

    I guess we will just have to c..my guess is divided!

    I reckon divided too. If they are goin into the new shopping centre they could have a huge store. Look at the size of the new tkmaxx. And tkmaxx cork is the number one best store in the company at the minute. Maybe H&M are thinkin they can do the same

    Applied online weeks ago. Say applications are closed now though, they had two days of interviews last week where people came over from London and other H&M stores!
