Barcelona-based fashion business Mango continues to advance its US expansion. Following the opening of its Portland store in June, which took it to 50 locations in the US, Mango has reached another milestone with the opening of a store in Chicago. Situated on North Michigan Avenue, the store marks the brand’s entry into Illinois and increases its network in this market to 60 locations.

“Expanding Mango’s presence in a city like Chicago is an important achievement for the entire team and reaffirms our deep commitment to our US customers,” said Daniel López, director of expansion and franchising at the Catalan company. “Our location on the prestigious Magnificent Mile is proof of the warm reception our value proposition has received in the US and represents another strategic step in strengthening our presence across the country.”
The new store spans 1,000 square metres and offers a wide selection from its women’s and men’s collections. The space adopts its Mediterranean-inspired New Med concept, combining warm tones, a welcoming aesthetic, natural materials, and a design intended to reflect the brand’s identity, with sustainability and architecture as central pillars.
The boutique was developed in collaboration with local construction teams, incorporating architectural elements characteristic of Chicago to create a dialogue between the city’s architecture and the brand’s Mediterranean universe. For example, the brickwork, laid horizontally with concealed vertical joints, pays homage to Prairie-style homes, while the geometric textiles decorating the space are inspired by a design by Eugene Masselink, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright.
The company continues to strengthen its position in the US, where this December it opened its fourth store in Manhattan, at 1976 Broadway, joining its New York locations on Fifth Avenue, in SoHo, and at Hudson Yards. As part of its growth strategy in the country, launched in 2006, Mango expects to end the year with around 65 stores, in line with its ambition to place the US among its top three markets by revenue by 2026 as part of its 4E 2024-2026 plan.
Founded in 1984 by Isak Andic, the company operates in more than 120 markets through a network of more than 2,900 points of sale. According to its latest figures, Mango reported revenues of €1.728 billion in the first half of the current financial year, 12% more than in the same period of the previous year. With its sights set on global growth, the Barcelona-based company expects to end 2026 with sales of €4 billion and the addition of 500 stores to its network.
