Mango selects centre:mk for latest location
Mango, one of Europe’s leading fashion groups, has selected centre:mk, one of the top 10 retail and leisure destinations in the UK, for its latest location. The new store, which is set to open this summer, will have a selling space of over 4,500 sq ft and will exclusively distribute the Mango Woman collection.
Mango’s signing follows a strong 2022 performance for centre:mk with footfall up 31% on 2021, outperforming both the UK and South East industry benchmarks. Christmas also proved to be a standout trading period for the destination, with womenswear, accessories, and jewellery sales up by as much as 32.6% from 2021, affirming Mango’s strategic move to sign at the centre.
Kevin Duffy, Centre Director at centre:mk, commented: “We are so proud of the continued upward momentum of centre:mk’s success. As a destination, we consistently outperform national benchmarks due to the appeal of our stores including one of the strongest anchor line-ups in the UK, including John Lewis & Partners, H beauty, M&S, Primark, Next and TK Maxx, and the signing of Mango is no exception to this; its commitment to the destination reaffirms centre:mk as a leading destination for internationally renowned retailers, and we are delighted to be welcoming Mango to the centre this year.”
Mango is the latest in a series of leading brands to commit to centre:mk, following the openings of Ted Baker, Charles Tyrwhitt, itsu, Cosy Club and Loupe in 2022.
MMX Retail and CBRE acted for centre:mk.
