The world’s largest H&M store is coming to New York City. Racked, citing Women’s Wear Daily, reported that the retailer has signed a 57,000-square-foot lease at 589 Fifth Avenue. The location is just a few blocks from H&M’s current New York flagship, at 640 Fifth Avenue at 51st Street.

The largest H&M is currently located at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas. But the new massive New York City location, slated to open sometime in 2013, will be 7,000 square feet larger than the Vegas space.The store will house all of the brand’s collections.
