H&M Grand Reopening

Thursday 10/20/11 I attended the H&M grand reopening at Crossgates Mall. The new layout is now 2 floors; the top floor is womens and children and the bottom floor is mens. When I originally heard about the new layout I was psyched because I assumed it would mimic either New York City or Vegas locations but that was not the case. I was completely let down. It wasn't much different then the original location. They did however have a great DJ....DJ Dave from the Bronx (my hometown). I also loved the graffiti like art above the stairs. My mom accompanied me and she wasn't impressed either. Have you seen the new store and if so what are your thoughts?
