Roermond Designer Outlet in the Netherlands. With 2.8 million visitors per year it is considered the second biggest tourist attraction of the country.
Since introducing outlet retailing to Europe in 1995, McArthurGlen Group has become Europe’s leading developer, owner and manager of designer outlets. Its current portfolio of 16 designer outlet villages across the UK and Europe comprises more than 400,000 m2 of retail space, housing over 700 brands in more than 1800 stores. Visited by over 65 million people in 2007 the portfolio generated nearly €2 billion in retail sales. The Group plans to add a further 5 new outlets to its portfolio by 2010.
In addition, McArthurGlen Group is expanding and moving into full price retail with the formation of a new division, McArthurGlen Luxury Retail.
The first of these ventures, Collezioni is a new approach to airport retailing which, for the first time, creates a genuine partnership between airports and luxury brands to overcome the barriers that have so far limited the presence of a high quality fashion offering to a relative handful of the world’s major airports.
