Becoming Europe's No.1 designer outlet developer, owner and operator has involved meticulous planning as well as attention to detail. Here are the main ingredients of our recipe for success.
We're accessible to 135 million shoppers
More than 135 million people live within a 90-minute drive of a McArthurGlen Designer Outlet. Furthermore, millions of international tourists visit the respective markets. In total, our Designer Outlets draw over 60 million visitors each year.
We pick our locations strategically
McArthurGlen Designer Outlets are typically located within 45 to 60 minutes of major metropolitan centres, and are situated conveniently for high-end tourist destinations. They offer ample parking and are all within easy reach of major motorways
We build award-winning shopping environments
Designed by some of the world's finest architects, including Lord Richard Rogers, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets offer state-of-the-art shopping environments combined with extensive facilities. Our continuing pursuit of excellence has so far brought us over 25 retail, design and tourism awards
We offer the right price and the right brand mix
Not only do we offer designer labels with permanent discounts of 30% to 70%, we also constantly review the mix of brands and merchandise at each Designer Outlet. We do this to improve our offering and enhance every shopper's experience.
We win loyal shoppers
Our typical shopper is a 25- to 55-year-old, brand-aware woman. She visits a Designer Outlet once a month, spends an average of two hours there, and she travels there by car - with a friend or with family.
We complement the full-price stores
Within each metropolitan area, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets are intended to complement the brands' full-price stores and to avoid direct competition with them.
We help local communities
To boost employment in the areas surrounding our Designer Outlets, we work closely with nearby communities. We also bring new revenue to the local economy, invest in infrastructures, help local charities and promote tourism in the region.
We gain press recognition
Numerous articles in the world's leading newspapers and magazines, from the New York Times to the Financial Times, have highlighted the phenomenal appeal of McArthurGlen Designer Outlets. Read about us In the press.
