Spanish fashion retailer Mango is expanding its UK store network, with plans to open four in London as well as increasing its presence in Scotland and for the first time reaching cities in Northern Ireland.
As well as new sites in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Mango also has plans for central and southern England.
“The UK is one of the priority markets for Mango’s international growth. The increased presence in London and our arrival this year in some cities where we have not been present until now will consolidate the Mango brand and help us to strengthen it internationally,” said Daniel López, Mango’s director of expansion and franchising.
Mango has been present in the UK since 1999. In 2021, the company opened a new flagship store on Oxford Street in London and three other stores in Manchester, Edinburgh and Derby.
In 2022, Mango strengthened its presence in the north with a store in Glasgow Fort, the city’s main shopping and leisure centre. It also opened at the Bluewater shopping centre in Dartford, the fifth largest in the country, as well as at Battersea Power Station in London. At the end of the year, the company opened its first store in Newcastle, located in the Eldon Square shopping centre, one of the most-visited in the country.
Last year, Mango opened more than 10 stores, mainly in the south and centre of the country, in major cities such as Bristol, London, Manchester and Leeds. Key among them was the store opening in Westfield Stratford City, one of the largest shopping centres in the UK. In addition, the company arrived for the first time in Brighton with a 470 m2 store in the Churchill Square shopping centre.
At the close of the 2023 financial year, Mango had 60 stores in the country, including company stores, franchises and corners in department stores, as well as a digital presence through its own online channel and other marketplaces.
As well as physical sites, the fashion brand has recently introduced a virtual store on the Roblox platform. Located in Roblox’s virtual Outfit Shopping Mall, Mango’s immersive store will enable gamers to purchase Mango Teen digital garments, including collections available in bricks-and-motor stores, for their avatars.
