Spanish fashion giant Mango has unveiled plans to launch 22 new stores across Italy through a major partnership with department store operator Coin as the retailer accelerates its European expansion strategy. The Barcelona-headquartered company confirmed the new locations will open between September 2026 and the end of 2027. The agreement comes as Mango marks 25 years of operating in the Italian market, which has become one of the retailer’s strongest territories for revenue growth. Daniel López, Mango’s director of expansion and franchising, said: "This agreement will give Italian consumers access to the full breadth of Mango's creativity and distinctive value proposition in well-located Coin department stores." TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Coin general manager Matteo Cosmi described the partnership as strengthening the company’s ambition to offer a "relevant and differentiated" retail experience alongside a brand holding a "solid and distinctive" position within the fashion sector. The announcement follows Mango’s latest Italian store launch at Venice’s Nave de Vero Shopping Centre, which officially opened on June 1. Located in Marghera, the shopping centre serves as a major commercial destination within the wider Venice metropolitan area and attracts both residents and tourists. The new 900 square metre store is the first Mango location in Venice to stock the complete Woman, Man and Kids collections under one roof. The opening also marked the launch of Mango’s childrenswear range in the Veneto region for the first time. Fifteen jobs were created through the store opening. The outlet incorporates Mango’s Mediterranean-inspired New Med retail concept, featuring warm tones, neutral colours and sustainable materials. Under the new partnership with Coin, future stores will range from 400 to 1,000 square metres and will all adopt the New Med concept while carrying the full Woman, Man and Kids ranges. Eight new locations are scheduled to open during 2026, with confirmed cities including Bari, Catania and Rome.

Mango also intends to strengthen its presence across Sicily and Sardinia during the later phase of the rollout. The Italian expansion forms part of a broader international growth strategy as the retailer pursues ambitious revenue targets across multiple European markets. Italy delivered particularly strong results for Mango during 2025, with turnover rising by nearly 30 per cent compared with the previous year. The retailer expanded its Italian store network by more than 20 locations last year, targeting major cities including Rome, Milan and Bologna. Mango finished 2025 operating 120 stores across Italy, representing more than 40,000 square metres of retail space in addition to its online business. Globally, the company generated revenues of approximately €3.8billion during 2025, marking a 13 per cent increase on the previous year. The retailer expects revenues to approach €4billion by the end of 2026. Outside Italy, Mango is planning to open 15 new stores across the UK this year. Turkey is also expected to see around 10 new openings alongside five store refurbishments during 2026. France remains another major target market for the retailer, with plans for 45 stores by 2028 supported by €66million of investment. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
