Stockland says the store will have H&M’s full offering, including apparel, underwear and accessories, as well as H&M Home.

Stockland Group Executive and CEO Commercial Property, John Schroder, says the centre’s latest signing adds to an already impressive line-up of retailers.

“We’re very proud to bring H&M to the new Stockland Green Hills, delivering on-trend and affordable fashion to the Maitland region,” Schroder says.

“With so many new brands and retailers, Stockland Green Hills will soon be transformed into a lifestyle and fashion mecca, that is on par with any leading metro-city shopping centre in the country.”

The store will be H&M’s 26th across Australia.
