To mark the launch, New York Brass Band will perform for shoppers ahead of the doors opening at 11am. The first 500 customers in the queue will receive goodie bags and a 25 per cent discount wristband that can be redeemed against a single purchase that day. Those spending more than £30 will also be offered a free manicure.
Carlos Duarte, the retailer’s country manager for the UK and Ireland, said: “With all H&M concepts available, including our ever expansive Home collection, we are confident that our new Glasgow store will provide our customers with an excellent shopping experience.”
H&M first came to these shores in 1976 and now has more than 260 outlets across the UK and Ireland.
