On Thursday March 11, H&M will open its first Israeli store in Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Center. The Swedish fashion giant plans to open seven outlets in Israel, with a store opening in Jerusalem on Tuesday, March 16. Of course, the boycott brigade has now targeted H&M, with protests planned at H&M stores worldwide on March 11 and 16.
Please contact H&M to express your support for its expansion into Israel. To find contact information for your country, use the pull-down menu on this H&M web page (currently set to Canada): http://www.hm.com/ca/abouthmcom/contact__contact.nhtml
It’s been a few months now, but the H&M store in Tel Aviv is a huge success, from what I heard.
that sounds very good. we would like to learn more about this new location so that we might include it in our tours. thanks!
And this is the email they sent in reply to the haters:
Thank you for your email.
H&M does not make any political statements. We rely on authorities like
the UN who does not oppose to us doing business in Israel. As long as
the UN approves we concur. H&M is a non-political and non-religious
company.
We will continue with our establishment plans to open through our
franchise partner (Match Retail Ltd) during 2010. We generally believe
that trade and dialogue promote development.
Best regards,
H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB

Resently there was an attempt to make convince the Copenhageners to boycot H&M.
Their turnover raised considerable that day.
The Danes don’t like mobbing either.
Thank you H&M! This is terrific news, and a smart business move.
Thank you H&M. I love your clothes and am so happy that you are support Israel by opening outlets there. It can only help business to open stores and you will get loyal supports in your Israeli costumers.
Thank you.
Thank you H&M for supporting Israel by opening outlets there.
I think that you will do great business in Israel with its young and very hip population.
Again, thanks.
