The holidays are always a reason for people to come together, celebrating the spirit of togetherness. Thanksgiving, being a big reason to celebrate, became more special for us as we were given the chance to spend two nights in Cebu for the opening of the latest H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) branch.
In 2013 alone, Hennes & Mauritz (H&M), the world’s second-largest fashion retailer, opened 356 stores, showing its strong commitment to global expansion. The family-controlled Swedish enterprise seems to want to knock Zara off the top perch as the world’s biggest-selling clothing retailer.
The opening of the first H&M store in the Philippines in mid-August is one of the most anticipated this year. The fashion folk who used to hoard pieces during shopping trips abroad will now have the chance to get their hands on the latest offerings of the Swedish high street retailer.
