Mango to open 20 more UK stores by year’s end

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Mango has announced it will continue its expansion and brand consolidation plan in the UK with more than 20 store openings by the end of 2024. 

This particular expansion will see the fashion retailer focus on its presence in London and Scotland, as well as setting up shops in Northern Ireland for the first time. 

Four stores are due to open in London, in addition to last February’s opening of a store in the Windsor Yards shopping centre close to Windsor Castle. 

The new Mango store will incorporate the ‘New Med’ Mediterranean-inspired store concept, reflecting “the spirit and freshness” of the brand. 

Daniel López, director of expansion and franchising at Mango, said: “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.”

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.
