Mango will open 20 new UK stores this year

Mango’s expansion plan for the year focuses mainly on expanding its presence in London and Scotland, as well as arriving in cities in Northern Ireland and central and southern England for the first time.

Four new openings are expected in London with the rest in other target locations.

The new Mango stores are set to incorporate its Mediterranean-inspired store concept, which it says reflects the “spirit and freshness” of the brand.

Mango added that sustainability and architectural integration are “key” to its new design, and customers can expect to find different spaces with varying tones, colours and materials in store.

Mango director of expansion and franchising Daniel López 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.”

The Spanish fashion giant first entered the UK market in 1999 and has since bolstered its presence significantly.

Mango opened a new flagship store on Oxford Street in 2021 and also opened more than ten stores in the UK last year.

As of the end of the 2023 financial year, Mango had a UK store estate total of 60.
