BN Exclusive: Spanish Retailer MANGO opening stores in Nigeria

We had been hearing whispers about this for a while but it is exciting to now have confirmation.
Renowned Spanish clothing retailer, MANGO will be opening stores in Nigeria. The much-loved retailer which has collaborated with actresses Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz and designer Zuhair Murad will be opening stores in Lagos and Abuja. The Lagos store will be at the Palms Mall while the site of the Abuja store is yet to be confirmed. Wonder who will come in next? Maybe H&M? We’ll just have to watch and see. While we are on this topic, wonder what some of these Lagos clothing boutique owners will do when the official retailers open their stores. Went to a couple of Lagos stores this week and was shocked to see Coast, Zara and Mango clothing (dresses) from past seasons – some even from over a year ago – selling for an average of 40000 naira (about £167). Most mark-up their prices by about 50% which seems excessive…
