Designer Outlet Roermond, located on the outskirts of the southeastern Dutch city of Roermond near the Dutch-German border and operated by McArthurGlen, has been chosen as the best performing and most beautiful outlet centre in Europe by research consultancy Ecostra. 

 

Vicolungo, The Style Outlets in Northern Italy was rated the second-most successful centre in Ecostra’s Outlet Centre Performance Report Europe in 2016 while  Cheshire Oaks in the UK came third. From the tenant’s point of view, Roermond is currently the most profitable outlet centre in Europe.

The ranking also introduced three newcomers to the top 10 for the first time: Outlet Center Brenner in Innsbruck, Mantova Outlet Village in Italy and Style Outlets Vila do Conde in Portugal. 

The report also asked brands where they are seeking to expand. Demand for stores in German outlet centres is particularly high. Around two-thirds of European brands are searching for locations in Germany. France,
Spain and Italy are increasingly attractive for sales and expansion but the Netherlands, Austria and the UK are less important.

In the case of the UK, this may be due to Brexit uncertainty, says Ecostra.
