Mango's UK presence to explode with over 20 store openings

Mango has today announced its plans to dominate the UK high street with more than 20 store openings set for 2024. The expansion is focused on London, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Daniel López, Mango’s Director of Expansion and Franchising, 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."

Mango plans four store openings in London this year. In addition, it will also increase its presence in Scotland with store openings in Glasgow and Edinburgh and, for the first time, will reach cities in Northern Ireland.

The new stores will incorporate the Mango's Mediterranean-inspired store concept, reflecting the "spirit and freshness" of the brand. Sustainability and architectural integration are key to the new design format. Warm, neutral colours predominate, combined with traditional, natural materials such as ceramics, tuff, wood, marble, esparto grass and leather.

Mango has been present in the UK since 1999. In 2023 alone, Mango opened 130 stores and refurbished 80 to reach a total of nearly 2,700 stores in more than 115 markets worldwide. At the close of the 2023 financial year, Mango had 60 stores in the UK, including company stores, franchises and concessions.

In March, it was revealed that Mango closed 2023 with historic results, reaching a turnover of over £2.56 billion (€3 billion) for the first time. With this achievement in the bag, the Barcelona-based company announced a new strategic plan to exceed £3.41 billion (€4 billion) in 2026.

At the time, the company also unveiled its '4E Plan', which detailed its plans to expand. Moving forward, the company remains "committed to the growth of its stores", setting itself a target of 500 new openings by 2026.
