H & M Rejected

According to this report, Paris city officials rejected the development of an H & M superstore for the Champs Elysees. The decision is the result of a report that "raised the alarm over the growing number of chain stores and fast food outlets that rub shoulders with luxury brands on the avenue." Something tells me they're too late. For anyone who's been along the Champs Elysees recently, it's tourist trap filled with an odd collection of retailers, food vendors, cinemas and outdated dance clubs.
