Following the closure of 180 stores in 2020, H&M plans to close another 250 stores in 2021. The retailer’s decision was primarily motivated by the coronavirus pandemic and an increasing transition to online purchases. In a comment to “Good Morning America,” H&M CEO Helena Helmersson said, “More and more shoppers began shopping online after the pandemic, and they are making it evident that they enjoy a comfortable and empowering environment in which shops and online connect and reinforce each other.”
