Fashion Retailer H&M to Open at Bellevue Square

Bellevue, WALocal News

H&M is preparing to open a new store at 1120 Bellevue Square, as noted in King County records, marking a significant change in the area’s retail landscape. This new location will take over the space previously occupied by 365 by Whole Foods, which itself took over after JCPenney vacated. The introduction of H&M is expected to boost shopping activity in Bellevue Square, a popular destination for locals and visitors. While the exact size of the new store and its anticipated opening date have not been disclosed, the development follows a series of new openings in Bellevue, including dining establishments and retail options. This influx of businesses reflects Bellevue's growing status as a commercial hub in the Pacific Northwest, and local residents and businesses may benefit from the increased foot traffic generated by H&M's arrival.

Overall, this move underscores the dynamic nature of Bellevue's commercial real estate market.
