�San Francisco International Airport, like the city it serves, is a fertile test market for new ideas,� said John L. Martin, director, San Francisco International Airport. �We awarded HMSHost this contract because of the company�s track record of bringing innovative airport concepts to market. MNG by Mango gives our passengers more of the shopping choices they want where they have come to expect them.�

MNG by Mango carries chic, affordable women�s clothing and accessories designed by Penelope and Monica Cruz. The new store is located in the Terminal 3, Concourse F hub across from the food court.

�We brought MNG by Mango to the airport environment in the U.S. because it delivers the retail experience that American travelers demand: style and fast fashion at reasonable prices,� said Joan Ryzner, senior vice president of retail for HMSHost. �We paired SFO and Mango because of the Bay Area�s international flair, spirit and affinity for the brand.�

Sophisticated and edgy, MNG by Mango offers the hottest European fashions in a sleek, easy-to-browse setting perfect for today�s busy travelers. Designed for the modern woman, styles range from classic basics such as simple tees, trousers, jeans and trench coats to swimwear, elegant evening dresses and avant-garde ensembles. Many pieces of the seasonal collections are limited editions.

�Bright colors in fitted styles and more sophisticated pieces in black, white and khaki appeal to SFO travelers who make room for style in their suitcases,� said Nina Lundgren, travel retail director, international expansion for Mango. �From dress up to dress down, women will always be fashionable in something from MNG by Mango.�

The store�s dramatic and exciting interior maintains the understated elegance and well-known style of the brand. Chic mannequins dressed in eye-catching outfits draw customers into the sleek, contemporary black and white interior space at MNG by Mango.
