Mango increases UK footprint with new Manchester store

Mango has increased its footprint in the UK with a new store in Manchester's Trafford Centre.

The Spanish fashion giant closed 2022 with 53 stores in the UK and has embarked on further expansion in 2023 with several store openings this year mainly in the south and centre of the country.

This latest 400sqm store follows on from the opening of a 450sqm store that exclusively stocks the Woman line in Westfield Stratford City and the brand's arrival for the first time in the city of Brighton, where it has opened a 470sqm store in the Churchill Square shopping centre.

The new Manchester store, which stocks the Woman line only, is the latest to feature the brand's New Med store concept, which incorporates eco-efficient lighting and heating and ventilation, and a design which uses sustainable materials such as natural paint.

Mango has been present in the United Kingdom since 1999. In 2021, the company strengthened its presence in the country with the opening of a new flagship store in Oxford Street, London, and another three stores in Manchester, Edinburgh and Derby. It also opened nine corners with the John Lewis Partnership throughout the United Kingdom and four stores with Morleys Department Store.

In 2022 Mango strengthened its presence in the north of the country with a store in Glasgow Fort, the city’s main shopping and leisure centre, as well as in the Bluewater shopping centre in Dartford, the fifth largest in the country, and 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 busiest in the country.

Mango closed 2022 with 53 stores in the UK, including company-owned stores, franchises and corners in department stores, as well as an online presence through its own online channel and other marketplaces.
