H&M to open in downtown Baltimore later this month

Swedish retailer plans May 19 debut with giveaways

Fans of H&M will be happy to know that the Swedish retailer will open its new store at Baltimore's Inner Harbor later this month.

The opening for the retailer known for its cheap chic fashion is planned for May 19 at noon.

H&M at Harborplace & The Gallery will offer ladies, men's and children's clothes. It will also have separate sections for denim, accessories, maternity and lingerie.

In celebration of opening day, H&M will offer the first 200 shoppers in line an H&M T-shirt and Access to Fashion Pass, valued from $10 to $300. The store will also have other giveaways.

H&M announced last year it was opening in Baltimore. The store is one of a number of new retailers that have come to the shopping complex in recent months.
