The Swedish multinational clothing retail company Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) has announced that it will open its first store in Cambodia next year, according to the companies half-yearly report released this month.

Cambodia Investment Review contacted H&M who confirmed the planned launch in 2022 but did not disclose where the first store would open however an employee recruitment form listed Aeon 1 as the store location.

H&M already has a large presence in the region with 11 stores in Vietnam and 43 in Thailand. The company has been producing its products in Cambodia since the 1990s however announced it would reevaluate its production hereafter the EU decision to partly withdraw Cambodia’s duty-free access to EU markets in February of last year.

European Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia (EuroCham) President Tassilo Brinzer told Cambodia Investment Review that H&M committing to opening a franchise here in 2022 means that Cambodia continues to have great potential as a consumer market. Adding, in turn, this means that a large European group expects overall business in the Kingdom to expand.

Expand in which direction? They can only go north. Goodbye to a school?

What is your definition of Chav?

H&M Isn’t a chav brand. It is fast fashion that is cheap and only intended to last a short time. Not what I understand chav to reference.

Were they booted from China as part of the Xinjiang cotton sanctions?

I’ve always found it strange that H&M stores in Thailand stock the same products as their stores in the West.

Prepare to see Cambodians wearing winter clothing designed for European weather.

Presumably, you haven't seen Thais in their woolly hats and jackets during the 1/2 weeks a year when the temperature occasionally drops below 20c in and around Bangkok.

They probably thought I was deranged to be still walking round in my shorts and t-shirt.

That's a thing here too.

I do remember having socks on while in bed in Phnom Penh for a couple of weeks in January one year. I think the locals may have been wearing parkas and thermals during the day.

A chav is “ in parts of England is a British pejorative term used to describe an anti-social lower-class youth dressed in sportswear.” and “council” covers them plus professional “single mums” (with usually more than one kid from different dads) who have lived on handouts all their lives.
If you’ve ever been in one in the UK it’s full of the lazy fat feckless slobs. Utterly horrible shop, especially when a sale is on.

I’ve spent many many years living in England. I am well aware what a chav is. I wanted to know what you thought a chav is, because H&M is not chavvy.
Lazy fat feckless slobs aren’t chavs either.
If you knew anything about H&M you would know that fat feckers can’t fit their sizes.
Are you sure you are not thinking of Primark?

Nope. I’ve also spent many years in England. H&M is what I said it is.

Unless you want to meet up for a fight? Come on, come get some!
What you looking at!

(You may be right. It’s been 7 years and I’m older)

No self-respecting Chav would wear H & M or Primark. Anything from Sports Direct or JD Sports with the occasional over-branded 'designer' item, yes. Anything else, no.
