THE SINGLE BIGGEST CROWD HE'S EVER SEEN TO WELCOME A NEW STORE TO ALBUQUERQUE. SO SAYS CORONADO MALL GENERAL MANAGER RANDY SANCHEZ TO THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL OF THE HUNDREDS WHO LINED UP OUTSIDE THE CENTER'S NEW H&M OUTLET THURSDAY FOR THE STORE'S OPENING. ABOUT 50 OF THOSE PEOPLE EVEN SPENT THE NIGHT INSIDE CORONADO TO BE FIRST IN LINE.
