Mango to open new site in Metrocentre

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.

International fashion retailer Mango is set to open a new destination at regional mall Metrocentre

The brand will join the centre’s lower Red Mall later this year, opening its largest store in the region to date.

Mango will bring a Mediterranean-inspired and versatile assortment of womenswear and menswear to Metrocentre later this summer. Its new 6,233 sq ft unit sits adjacent to Jo Malone, and a stone’s throw from other lower Red Mall stores such as Zara, H&M and Flannels

Marking the retailer’s biggest store in the region, Mango will be an addition to the destination, reinforcing its ability to deliver “best-in-class” retail.

The announcement follows the news that Footasylum has opened into a new and upsized space within the centre, taking on a 12,375 sq ft unit in Red Mall and increasing its presence by 25%.

Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, said: “Introducing Mango to Metrocentre brings an added dimension to an already compelling fashion offer. Mango will be a highly complementary addition to our Red Mall line up, which has seen significant investment and an abundance of new commitments over the last twelve months. 

“We prove time and time again that we really are the go-to destination for retail, and we look forward to seeing Mango thrive here at Metrocentre.”
