H & M in Ottawa?

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Oh! Things!

I have to interrupt this regularly scheduled bulletin to provide an important public service announcement.

Contrary to recent rumour and speculation on the Twitter network, there is no H & M planned for Place d’Orleans or any other Ottawa location in the foreseeable future.

I contacted H & M via email and this is what I got back:

Hello Andrea,

Thank you for your interest in H&M.

We hope to have a presence in all major Canadian cities as soon as possible; however, we are not able to state any specific dates or locations for future openings. We usually announce new store openings 4-6 weeks before we open, so please check out our website at www.hm.com to be the first to know! In the meantime, we would encourage you to take a minute to sign up for our newsletters and notifications of special offers and events at www.hmfriendsandfamily.com!

We currently only offer in-store shopping and do not have online, phone or mail ordering available. Because of this, we do not produce a catalogue either.

Best regards,

H&M Info Canada

There you have it. Sorry Ottawa shoppers! It looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer.

However, there is a Zara that is opening (or perhaps already opened) at the Rideau Centre.

Zara is open for men’s and women’s clothes only. Sucks about H&M though!

Oh no! I had heard the rumours and was so excited! Oh well at least I can shop there in Edmonton, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver when I go there for work.

I actually ran into someone from management at Place a week or so ago and asked and she looked at me QUITE quizzically and slowly said no. (you should have seen the look I got when I told her I’d heard on twitter that they were coming to place ;) I got the feeling that discussions may be in the works (or possibly had been and had fallen through) but there was definitely nothing concrete going on. So there may yet be hope, but who knows ;)

It’s specifically unfair in Ottawa’s case, since we lack so much stores that are both fashionable and affordable!

We need it so much more than any other canadian cities… Please, H&M, put an end to this suffering!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here. Thank you for visiting!
