[edit] History
Initially costing $20 million, Woodburn Company Stores opened with 243,000 square feet (22,600 m2) of retail space in August 1999.[1] The center was expanded by 66,500 square feet (6,180 m2) of space which opened in November 2003. An additional 23,700 square feet (2,200 m2) added in November 2005[1][2] cost $1.6 million and included Nike, Inc. as an anchor to the outlet mall.[3] Another 27,402 square feet (2,545.7 m2) of space costing $5.1 million opened in February 2009. One final expansion consisting of public restrooms and 14 store spaces is scheduled to break ground in February 2012 and open by October 2012.
The complex was a target of a large shoplifting ring in 2006.[4]
Between the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends in 2007, a shuttle bus service called the Woodburn Outlet Express ran from the Portland Union Bank of California, the Portland Hilton Hotel, the Lake Oswego Hilton Garden Inn, to the mall and back.[5][6] Round-trip fare was $20. After low demand during that trial period, the service was discontinued.
The company S.D. Deacon has been the general contractor of the mall's construction during all phases.
