2024 was a record year for McArthurGlen’s Dutch Designer Outlets in Roermond and Roosendaal. The latter will expand with 6,000 sqm of retail space in the near future to cope with the visitor increase.
Retailtainment
Designer Outlet Roermond saw its sales increase by 8.5 %, thanks to the opening of ten new shops, including Alexander McQueen, Tory Burch and Jil Sander. The total of 21 million transactions represented a 7.7 % increase. The outlet centre in Roosendaal even grew 13.5 % in sales and 10 % in visitors, to over 2.1 million. Six new brands were introduced here, including Lacoste and Michael Kors. Roosendaal is planning an extension of 6,000 sqm of retail space.
In line with what McArthurGlen calls its “retailtainment” strategy, both centres emphasised collaboration with local entertainment partners, such as nearby amusement park the Efteling and Belgian media group Studio 100. The opening of Europe’s largest Nike store should further enhance the shopping experience in 2025.
