Mango opens new flagship at centre:mk

Mango has opened the doors of a new flagship store at top 10 UK retail destination centre:mk.

Set over 4,693 sq ft, the store stocks the fast-growing Spanish retail giant's womenswear collection and features its new Mediterranean-inspired concept known as New Med. It is situated on the centre's Midsummer Arcade,

New Med is featured in a select group of flagship stores around the world and the concept aims to reflect the spirit and freshness of the brand with sustainability and architectural integration as key elements.

Kevin Duffy, Centre Director at centre:mk, commented: “It is a huge vote of confidence in centre:mk that internationally renowned retailer, Mango, has selected the destination to launch its new, regional flagship store, bolstering the destination’s reputation as one of the UK’s most successful retail and leisure destinations. Mango’s reputable fashion offering makes it a fitting addition to centre:mk and will fit comfortably amongst our strong anchor brand line-up.”

Mango has been rapidly expanding its retail footprint in the UK and plans to open 13 new stores this year with significant openings in major cities such as Bristol, London, Manchester and Leeds, as well as its first arrival in cities such as Brighton.

“The United Kingdom is one of the key markets for Mango’s international expansion. Our arrival this year in cities we have not been present in until now and in some of the largest shopping centres in the country will consolidate the Mango brand and allow us to strengthen our position internationally,” said Daniel López, Mango’s Director of Expansion and Franchises when the news was announced in May.
