Fashion retailer announces two new stores in Northern Ireland

The company is opening at Foyleside in Londonderry and Rushmere before the end of the year.

It will open an 8,000 sq ft unit on level three at Foyleside, bringing 10 new jobs and selling ladieswear, children’s wear and accessories.

And at Rushmere, it’s opening a 6,700 sq ft store on the main mall, bringing seven new jobs and selling ladieswear and accessories.

It already has a store in Belfast’s Victoria Square shopping centre.

Paul Devlin, speaking on behalf of the landlords of Foyleside and Rushmere, said: “We are thrilled to share this exciting new retailer announcements for Foyleside and Rushmere.

“Mango is a well-regarded brand that delivers a quality fashion offering to a loyal customer base, and we are confident it will be an immensely welcome addition for both schemes and their surrounding catchment areas.

“Since the start of this year, Mango has been advancing its UK expansion objectives, and while there were several site visits conducted across various Northern Ireland locations, the retailer chose Foyleside and Rushmere as their selected locations due to both schemes demonstrating excellent performance metrics, including high footfall and occupancy rates.

“This is testament to the investment being undertaken by the scheme’s landlords, who are committed to enhancing the overall shopping experience at the Craigavon and Derry-Londonderry based destinations.”

The landlords of the shopping centres include Ian McMahon, the founder of Northern Ireland fashion chain DV8, and Donall McCann. They are part of a group of businesspeople which took over the locations last year.
