McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands is due to open early in 2021, with the development offering year-round savings of up to 60 per cent, as well as creating 1,000 retail jobs that will support around £20 million in employment income each year.
It was originally due to open this autumn, but was delayed due to coronavirus.

More brands will be announced as the centre gears up for opening and works at the site are nearing completion with internal fit-outs under way.
