H&M to Close Few Stores

H&M Relocates India HQ to Bengaluru, Leaving Delhi-NCR Behind

H&M has announced that it will close 240 stores globally in the year ahead. However, it will also open 95 new stores, so the net loss of shops overall will be 145.

The openings will happen in “growth markets” and some new markets as well. But the closures will “mainly be in established markets.

While the end of Covid restrictions in most markets means the company’s store estate has been back up and running, it’s had to shutter 185 of its stores temporarily due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Russia had been its sixth-largest market and represented 4% of its sales. The closures already crimped sales in Q1 and Q2 doesn’t look like being any better.
