Spanish fashion retailer Mango has expanded its presence in the UK with the opening of two new stores in Northern Ireland. 

Set to open before the end of 2024, the new stores will be located in the Foyleside Shopping Centre, Derry and the Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon. 

The Foyleside store will occupy 8,000ft² on level three, offering womenswear, children's wear and accessories, and will create ten new jobs.  

Foyleside centre manager Paul Doherty was quoted by Derry Journal as saying: “We are very excited to announce that Mango – a brand that is highly regarded in the way of high street fashion – is to open its doors at Foyleside later this year.” 

Meanwhile, the Rushmere store will take up 6,700ft² on the main mall, adding seven new jobs to the local economy and focusing on womenswear and accessories. 

This expansion adds to Mango's existing presence in Northern Ireland, where it already operates a store in Belfast's Victoria Square shopping centre.  

The new store openings reflect the brand's commitment to advancing its UK expansion objectives, with Northern Ireland playing a significant role in its strategy. 

The announcement of the new stores comes a few months after Mango revealed plans to open 20 new stores in the UK in 2024 as part of its ongoing brand consolidation and expansion efforts.   

The retailer has a presence in more than 115 markets. It ended 2023 with a turnover of €3.1bn and its online channel accounting for 33% of the total.
