Mango has opened its first Illinois store on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, hitting a pair of expansion milestones: its debut in the state and the opening of its 60th U.S. location.
The 11,000-sq.-ft. store features the retailer’s full women’s and men’s collections, all designed at its Barcelona headquarters by a team of more than 500 specialists.
The opening is part of Mango’s accelerated U.S. growth strategy, which targets more than 20 new stores this year and roughly 65 total U.S. stores by the end of 2025.
The company is also preparing to broaden its presence in California with an upcoming location at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa.
The Chicago store showcases Mango’s Mediterranean-inspired “New Med” design concept, built around warm tones, natural materials and architectural elements meant to evoke a coastal home.
For its Chicago debut, the retailer blended this aesthetic with local influences: brickwork referencing the city’s architectural heritage, horizontal masonry inspired by Prairie-style homes, and geometric textile walls based on a drawing by Eugene Masselink, a longtime apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright.
“Expanding Mango’s footprint to a city like Chicago is an important achievement for the entire Mango team and reaffirms our deep commitment to our U.S. clients,” said Daniel López, chief expansion and franchise officer.
“Our location on Chicago’s prestigious Magnificent Mile is a testament to the warm reception of our unique value proposition in the U.S.”
Mango’s U.S. expansion began in earnest in 2022 with its Fifth Avenue flagship in New York.
The company aims to double its U.S. workforce to more than 1,200 employees by the end of this year and expects the U.S. to become one of its top three markets by revenue by 2026.
