Winnipeg’s first H&M store will be located on the first level of Winnipeg’s Polo Park shopping centre. The 25,000 square foot store will be located off the mall’s Centre Court in a wing anchored by Hudson’s Bay. The floorplan below illustrates its location.

At 25,000 square feet, Polo Park’s H&M will also be one of Canada’s largest H&M stores. As a comparison, the largest Canadian H&M store measures 33,057 square feet at the Toronto Eaton Centre. The second-largest is Vancouver’s 31,437 square foot Pacific Centre store.

We initially expected H&M to open in part of a former Zellers store space. We were obviously incorrect with that assumption. 

H&M also just announced that it plans to open its second Ottawa-area store, a 22,000 square foot unit at Les Promenades Gatineau.
