Hennes and Mauritz (H and M), the international fashion retailer, opened two new stores in Riyadh to eager followers of fashion in Riyadh Gallery and Sahara Mall, both stores opened on the 4th of April 2009.

'We are very excited to be bringing the H&M philosophy of 'Fashion, Quality at the Best Price' to different provinces in KSA. We are convinced that fashionable shoppers of the Kingdom will find our concept as appealing as shoppers in other countries in the region have.'
