when did h & m open in the us
H&M The company was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 1974.[7] Shortly after, in 1976, the first store outside Scandinavia opened in London.[7][9] H&M continued to expand in Europe, and began to retail online in 1998, when it was able to buy the domain hm.com from a company called A1 in a non-published domain transaction.[citation needed] The two-letter domain was registered in the early 1990s, but data on the first registration is lost.[citation needed] The opening of the first U.S. store on March 31, 2000, on Fifth Avenue in New York marked the start of the expansion outside of Europe.[7]
