Mango expands northern UK retail presence with new Chester store

Spanish fashion retailer Mango has opened its latest store in Eastgate Square, Chester. The location has created more than 16 new jobs as part of the company's efforts to broaden its physical retail footprint in the north of England.

Spanning 6,200 sq. ft., the brick and mortar location features both the womenswear and menswear lines, incorporating apparel, footwear, and accessories. Designed at the company headquarters in Barcelona, the store layout incorporates the Mediterranean-inspired New Med interior design concept, utilizing natural textures and sustainable materials.

Strategic UK expansion roadmap

The opening marks the second site for the brand in Chester and forms part of the 2024–2026 4Es Strategic Plan, designed to accelerate retail expansion and drive overall sales. The UK remains a priority growth market and ranks among the top 10 revenue-generating territories for the retailer.

Expansion across the UK throughout 2026 is concentrated on key northern and southern regions. In addition to the Chester site, recent and upcoming retail developments include openings in Cheltenham, alongside store locations on Kensington High Street and King’s Road in London.

Strong financial momentum

The retail roll-out aligns with robust financial results reported for the first half of 2026. Global turnover reached 1.85 billion euros (2.11 billion dollars), representing a 7.2 percent increase year-over-year, or 10.7 percent at constant exchange rates. Growth was supported by continuous point-of-sale development and high demand for seasonal collections, including collaborations with Eckhaus Latta and tailoring brand Richard James.

Mango international regional director for the UK and Ireland, Fiona Cullen, stated: “Our new Woman and Man store in Chester is a confident step forward for Mango, building on the strong progress we have made over the last year to broaden the appeal of Mango to even more customers across the UK. Chester is the perfect home to introduce our Woman and Man collections to customers in the north of England, in a store format that truly represents the Mediterranean soul of our brand.”

First entering the UK market in 1998, the company operated more than 100 points-of-sale nationwide by the end of 2025, encompassing standalone stores, concessions, its direct-to-consumer online platform, and third-party digital marketplaces.
