A Designer Outlet is a large shopping complex housing from 60 to 170 stores. Retail brands lease their own stores and they look very similar to their shops on the high street. McArthurGlen Designer Outlets have been thoughtfully designed by some of the world's finest architects in order to provide shoppers with an exceptional environment. See our image library.
Shoppers can enjoy discounts of 30% to 70% on all merchandise in our centres all day, every day.
Designer Outlets sell excess stock, special buys and end of season merchandise from some of the best-known brands in fashion, sport and homewares, with discounts off typical high street prices typically sold through stores run by the brands themselves. Any goods that are 'seconds' are always clearly marked.
