The long-awaited first metro Des Moines location of H&M will open June 10 at JordanCreek Town Center, mall general manager Randy Tennison confirms.<\/p>\n
And in time for the holiday season, the fast-fashion store will be getting a neighbor that's also new to Des Moines:a Fabletics store showcasing theathleisure brand co-founded by Kate Hudson.<\/p>\n
It's one of several measures aimed atrevitalizingthe western wing of the mall. Work is expected to begin this summer on a Von Maurstore that will fill the hole left when the Younkers store anchoring that end of the mall closed in 2018. ATempur-Pedic mattress storealso will be moving in by late fall.<\/p>\n
The 25,000-square-foot, multi-level H&M location occupies what had been several storefronts just east of the old Younker's. Fabletics, meanwhile, will be the first retailer in three years to use a space on the lower level left vacantwhen Helzberg Diamonds moved to the second floor.<\/p>\n

\"That wing has a lot going on,\" Tennison said.<\/p>\n
Anticipation of a Des Moines metroH&M ramped up over the past year and a half as the Sweden-based chain celebrated its 20th year in the U.S. by opening hundreds of new stores. To the envy of central Iowa shoppers, they included one in Davenport and anotherin Coralville.<\/p>\n
The October announcement that the metro would finally get its own location set off a social media celebration among local H&M fans eager for what they say is its stylishapparel and home decor at a hard-to-beat price.<\/p>\n
Their enthusiasm is only growing as opening day nears.<\/p>\n
\"I used to live in Texas and was used to being around H&M,\" said Amanda Davis, 35, of Ankeny. \"I love the price of their clothes, and for that price, the quality is good. I have pieces from them I bought seven to eightyears ago. I also love they have clothes for everyone, including kids.\"<\/p>\n

Hudson's Fabletics is another store with a fan base. Founded in 2013 as an online, membership-based subscription service, it opened its first brick-and-mortar locations in fall 2015, launching six U.S. stores.<\/p>\n
