Fast-fashion retailer H&M (short for Hennes & Mauritz) is opening a new store in Burnsville Center. Look for it this fall. The opening is part of a broader expansion by the Swedish company "in the North," according to a news release Monday.

The 18,000-square-foot Burnsville store will feature clothing for women, men, young women and young men (or "young ladies and young men,") kids, and a stores-within-the store for accessories, lingerie, maternity and plus-size. Since opening its first state-side store on Fifth Avenue in New York 14 years ago, H&M has expanded rapidly with some 311 stores nationwide.

Stores locally include Mall of America, Calhoun Square, Southdale, Maplewood, Woodbury Lakes and Ridgedale.
