Clothing retailer H&M is set to open its first central Arkansas location in Little Rock this fall, the chain said Monday.
The 29,000-square-foot location, the second in the state, will be on two floors of Park Plaza, according to a news release.
Eleven store spaces are being reconfigured inside the mall to make room for the H&M store, including vacant spaces once occupied by Hollister Co. and Lane Bryant on the building's northeast end, Park Plaza marketing manager Alicia Easley said.
As a result, some stores on Park Plaza's second and third floors will relocate while others will close, Easley said.
A full list of the stores affected was not immediately available.
H&M said the Little Rock location will offer clothing for women, men and children as well as separate store-within-a-store sections for accessories.
Arkansas’ other H&M store is at The Mall at Turtle Creek in Jonesboro. That 20,000-square-foot location opened last fall.
Earlier this month, two retailers — Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister Co. — closed their Park Plaza locations, Arkansas Online previously reported. Those stores were the only locations of those chains in the Little Rock metropolitan area.
