    MANGO Opens New Flagship Store In Madrid

    Fast-fashion retailer Mango has opened a new megastore in Madrid, located in one of the Spanish capital’s most prestigious shopping precincts.

    The 1711sqm store on Preciados Street is twice the size of the store it replaces, stocking mens and womens lines across three floors.

    Featuring an industrial style with exposed beams, the store combines a spectacular exposed wall painted in white with velvet, marble, wood and stone elements, according to Mango.

    On its upper floors, the store has internal patios and landscaped skylights, which give it plenty of natural light.

    Mango invested euro 3.5 million (US$4.3 million) refurbishing and fitting out the building, incorporating the interior style being rolled out across the company’s stores internationally.

    It features digital changing rooms, e-tickets, a PayGo payment facility, WiFi for shoppers and a click-and-collect counter.

    The Preciados Street store is Mango’s 31st in Madrid and its 381st in Spain.

    Atletico Madrid plans 200 China stores

    La Liga football league champions Atletico Madrid are set to cash in on growing Chinese fascination of European football by opening a retail store network in China.

    Atletico Madrid will open 200 retail outlets in China, according to Chinese news agency Xinhua.

    Such a network would be considerably larger than other football teams’ retail presence in China. Manchester United, Chelsea, Real, FC Barcelona and Arsenal all have a presence, on differing scales.

    The stores will be opened in Wanda Malls, owned by Chinese businessman Wang Jianlin, who took a 20 per cent stake in the Spanish club earlier this year.

    The club sees the stores as an important tool to broaden its brand awareness in Asia.

    Atletico already has a deal with Chinese football club Shanghai Shenhua and trains a number of Chinese youngsters as part of ‘Project Wanda’ to help develop young footballers.

    Atletico is expected to tour China between seasons.
