Hanna Andersson opens in Chicago’s Southport Corridor this Friday

Hanna Andersson will open its fifth store in Illinois on Friday, July 21 in Chicago’s Southport Corridor. The newest addition to the Hanna family marks its eight-second retail store in the United States.

Doors will open at 10 a.m. to the public at the new store, 3452 N. Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60657. Customers are encouraged to get there early since historically lines have been over one hundred people.
Hanna will be providing free gifts to customers throughout the grand opening weekend. On Friday, July 21, the first 500 customers will receive a free pair of long johns. The first 100 customers on Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 23 will receive a free $20 Hanna gift card. Along with free gifts, customers will be able to take advantage of buy one, get one free on all baby and kids sleepwear and 30% off the rest of their purchase (not including the buy one, get one free sleepwear).
\”We are excited for Hanna to open its fifth store in Illinois. Our new store will bring Hanna quality to life for our loyal catalog and website customers along with new customers to engage with the brand\” said Joelle Maher, President and CEO, Hanna Andersson.
This brand new store concept is inspired by a modern Scandinavian design aesthetic that combines simplicity and function. The design eye is minimalist, with sightlines straight from the storefront to the interior, giving a light- filled welcome to customers who step in and experience the brand.
Long time Hanna catalog customers and new to Hanna shoppers in the Chicago area will be able to explore and engage with what makes Hanna special from the pure organic cotton to the exceptional craftsmanship that goes into every garment. Hanna is a children’s lifestyle brand that allows kids to be kids with a mom approved hanna- me-down quality. And finally, Hanna’s Unconditional Guarantee is simple and loved by Hanna customers: If you are unhappy with any product, at anytime they will offer a full refund or replace the item.

About Hanna Andersson: For over 30 years, kids have played and laughed in Hanna Andersson’s clothing, which is often recognized by its classic bold stripe sleepwear, iconic dresses and tees. Since its beginning in 1983, the uniquely Swedish inspired brand has developed into one of the leading premier children’s Omni-channel lifestyle brands in the United States. Hanna offers clothing for babies through preteens; a women’s collection, Love Hanna; and Hanna Home. Besides its iconic catalog, Hanna currently has 67 retail stores and 13 outlet stores in 26 states.
