Mango opens first store in Leicestershire at Highcross

Mango has opened its first store in Leicestershire at Highcross Leicester.

The retailer joins the growing fashion line-up at the scheme, which last week announced the upcoming arrival of Asian sushi and noodle bar, Maki & Ramen.

The new store will offer the Spanish fashion brand’s range of womenswear, including its new Mediterranean-inspired concept ‘New Med’.

Situated on the upper mall, Mango becomes the first brand to open at Highcross since its brand refresh, which was marked by celebrations across the centre.

Michelle Menezes, centre director at Highcross Leicester, said: “We’re very excited to welcome much-loved fashion brand, Mango, to Highcross. We’re delighted that the brand has chosen us as its sole location within Leicestershire and we’re looking forward to working with the team to support their success. 

“It’s been fantastic to see so many eager shoppers waiting outside the doors to be among the first to see the brand’s ‘New Med’ concept store. Its arrival signals a new wave of exciting brands we’re introducing this year to Highcross, and we can’t wait to share more details with shoppers soon.”

Mango becomes the latest global brand to be added to the centre’s line up following a change in management. The NewRiver capital partnerships asset management team has looked to diversify and elevate the occupier mix, introducing more than 10 new tenants with a number of new brands and concepts due to open this year.
