Mango retailer to open 6 stores

Spanish clothing retailer Mango will open one outlet store and five regular stores on the local market, three of which will be located in Bucharest, and the others in Galati and Braila. “By 2009, we will open five stores, three of which will be in Bucharest. We are in talks to open several stores outside Bucharest in the coming few years, in cities such as Brasov, Arad, Craiova, Iasi and Ploiesti,” Gonzalo Llaras, head of CEE International Expansion and Franchise of Mango, told ZF. Mango will open stores in Bucharest in Cotroceni Park, in the shopping centre in the Sema Parc project and in Sun Plaza, in the Berceni district. Additionally, the company will open an outlet as part of Fashion House Outlet, developed by Belgian-held Liebrecht & wooD, near the Bucharest – Pitesti motorway. The company currently has five Mango stores and one Mango Touch store, with another store to soon be opened in Constanta, in City Park Mall, recently inaugurated by the Neocity group.
