Mango to open three new UK stores

Mango, the European fashion group, is accelerating its expansion in the UK with the opening of three new stores this autumn to bring the total to almost 50 by 2022, combining its physical presence in shopping centres with standalone stores and corners in department stores.

After opening in September at Dartford’s Bluewater shopping centre, the company is continuing its expansion by opening a new store in London’s new Battersea Power Station shopping centre, with a new store opening planned in Newcastle’s Eldon Square shopping centre during November.

Mango has also opened a new store at the newly restored Battersea Power Station. The Mango store has a selling space of over 300 square metres and will exclusively stock the Woman collection.

The new store, which will generate more than 15 new jobs and will be one of the first in the UK to feature the new Mediterranean-inspired concept, New Med, already present in some of the group’s flagship stores around the world.

After Battersea, Mango plans to open a new store in Newcastle’s Eldon Square shopping centre in November. The new store will have a selling space of over 400 square metres and will also stock items from the Woman collection. 13 new jobs will be created.

Daniel Lopez, Mango’s global expansion director, said: “The opening of these three stores is part of the expansion plan we are promoting to consolidate our brand in the country and a step forward in our strategic goals for international expansion and our distribution ecosystem.

“The United Kingdom is a key market for Mango and one of the most important for the fashion industry in the world, and we want Mango to have a significant presence in it.”
