Fashion, Fragrance and Frapuccino Openings at McArthurGlen’s East Midlands Designer Outlet

Dec. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Over the past three months, McArthurGlen’s East Midlands Designer Outlet has introduced more than two new brands a month, providing even more choice to shoppers at the centre in the run up to Christmas.

Complementing the already diverse range of designer and high street brands available at the centre, Billabong, Superdry and Fiorelli have enhanced the style spectrum offering high quality fashion and accessories at up to 60% less. Superdry was the first to open on 21st October offering on-trend men’s and women’s casualwear and Billabong recently followed pleasing young shoppers with top sports fashion. Fashion-forward accessories brand Fiorelli also opened its doors on 1st November with a great selection of stylish leather bags and gifts.

The end of November also marked the openings of beauty brands The Body Shop and All Wellan Good. The Body Shop offers eco-friendly, natural, beauty products for all skin types and All Wellan Good has a vast range of fragrances and toiletries from top designer brands including L’Oreal, Clarins and Benefit.

Costa opened at the start of December joining the other great refreshment options at McArthurGlen East Midlands. Shoppers can refuel with new warming drinks made by their expert baristas and enjoy a variety of tasty snacks and sandwiches as they pick up perfect gifts and festive fashion.

Just in time for Christmas, technology brand Red 5 joined leading videogames retailer Game offering unusual and innovative gadgets, toys and gifts that make great stocking fillers. As a final addition, this Saturday 17th December homeware favourite Bedeck will also be opening bringing inspirational bedding and bathroom decorations to equip every home for visiting guests.

Kenny Murray, Centre Manager at McArthurGlen’s East Midlands Designer Outlet, says, “The openings of the new brands have given a welcome boost to the centre in time for the busy festive period – eight new stores in as many weeks.  There have been at least 50 new job opportunities as a result, which is great for the local economy and, as we see a quarter of our annual footfall in the lead up to Christmas across November and December, we’re glad to be able to offer shoppers a broader choice of brands at up to 60% less.”


For shoppers in the run up to Christmas, McArthurGlen East Midlands will be open until 8pm on weeknights, with extended shopping hours on Saturday 17th December (9am-7pm). The centre will also be open on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
