H&M has announced its multi-level Wellington store will open its doors in just over a month.

The store at Queensgate Shopping Centre, in Lower Hutt, will launch on October 26.

The retailer says the store will be 2700sq m, and be set over two levels.

The store will include H&M's collections for apparel, underwear and accessories for women, men, kids, and baby, as well as their home collection.

It's the third store to launch in New Zealand, following openings at Sylvia Park in Auckland, and The Crossing in Christchurch.

"We look forward to meeting our H&M customers in the country's capital and engaging them with our wide range of offerings."

The Wellington store was originally rumoured to be opening in November, although the company never confirmed or denied that rumour.

H&M was founded in Sweden in 1947 and is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
