Cotswolds Designer Outlet opens to the public
The Cotswolds Designer Outlet has officially opened its 136,000 square foot scheme to the public
Developed by Robert Hitchins Ltd and managed by Multi-Realm, the outlet is strategically located at the gateway to the Cotswolds, just off Junction 9 of the M5, near Tewkesbury.
The scheme features a mix of 52 high-profile brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Reiss, The North Face, Sweaty Betty, PUMA, Adidas, Rituals, The Perfume Shop, M&S, and ProCook.
Shoppers can also access a variety of food options from well-known names like Five Guys, Pret A Manger, 200 Degrees, Zizzi, Wagamama, and Caffè Nero, as well as local companies Kneed Bakery and The Patisserie Box.
With Phase 1 now 98% let, planning is now underway for Phase 2 which will add a further 50,000 square feet of retail and leisure space.
Christine Grace, leasing director, Multi-Realm, said: “Cotswolds Designer Outlet is set to become one of the ‘must visit’ retail and leisure destinations in the UK, offering a hugely compelling mix of international, national, and local brands, as well as a fantastic range of food and drink options, all complemented by the carefully curated design.
“For an asset of this scale to be 98% let on the day of opening is unprecedented, and really demonstrates the strength of demand from brands for space at this site. This is a one of a kind asset, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve produced with our customers.”
Subscribe to TRBSimon Tothill, property and development director at Robert Hitchins Ltd, added: “Located at the gateway to the Cotswolds, this is an outstanding destination which has been meticulously designed and delivered to exacting standards.
“It has taken a lot of work over many years to get to this point, and the opening of this asset is a landmark milestone both for the local area and for the UK retail sector as a whole.”
