Global fashion retailer Mango has opened its first store in Aberdeen at the Union Square shopping centre, creating 20 new jobs. It’s the ninth store in Scotland, as Mango looks to strengthen its presence there.

Mango also said the opening forms part of its ongoing ambitious expansion strategy, which aims to open a further 500 stores globally between 2023 and 2026, including 20 in the UK this year

The 4,844 sq ft store features the brand’s now-standard New Med design concept, inspired by the brand’s Mediterranean heritage and culture, alongside Mango’s latest womenswear collection, including clothing, footwear and accessories.

This latest opening forms part of Mango’s 2024-2026 strategic plan, which aims to drive sales and store expansion, including an ambitious roadmap to expand Mango’s store presence across the UK, “a priority growth market”.

Fiona Cullen, International Regional director for the UK & Ireland, said: “Our new Mango Woman store in Aberdeen is a confident step forward for Mango, building on the strong progress we have made over the last year to broaden the appeal of Mango to even more customers across the UK. Aberdeen is the perfect new home to introduce our womenswear collection to the more Scottish customers, in a store format that truly represents the Mediterranean soul of our brand.”

The expansion plan builds on Mango’s strong performance. In July the Spanish brand reported global turnover of €1.73 billion (£1.52 billion) inforthe first half of 2025, up 12% year on year (14% at constant exchange rates). It noted the growth was driven by “the popularity of its collections and new store openings”.
