The store will be one of the first in the UK to feature Mango’s Mediterranean-inspired concept, influenced by Mediterranean culture and style, aiming to reflect the “spirit and freshness” of the business.
The retailer has also just opened the doors to its store at Bluewater in Kent and the third of the new stores will open in Newcastle’s Eldon Square shopping centre next month.
