Mango, a Spanish clothing retailer, is launching 45 new stores in France, creating around 700 jobs by the end of 2028. The expansion responds to strong online sales growth and the brand’s ambition to capture both major and mid-size urban markets. New outlets will open steadily over the next two year.
The company aims to expand its footprint to ten additional cities. Despite the issues faced in the retail clothing sector in the last year, Mango is growing both through its digital footprint and clothing stores. This was announced during the Choose France Summit.
The company currently employs about 1,700 people across France.
