McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Provence - McArthurGlen's new centre in the south of France - is one step closer to becoming a reality following the confirmation, on 23 June, of the scheme's retail licence by the Conseil d'Etat, France's supreme court, which means that this retail licence is confirmed and final.
McArthurGlen Provence is located in the second most visited tourist destination in France after Paris - the region of Provence-Côte d'Azur. Located near the town of Miramas, the centre is close to the junctions of the A8, A7 and A54 motorways, and a 45-minute drive from Aix-en-Provence and 50 minutes from Marseilles, with a high-speed TGV train station within walking distance of the centre.
Around 3 million potential customers live within a 60-minute drive of the centre, with more than 30 million tourists visiting the south-east of France annually. The centre, which is expected to welcome around 2.5 million consumers a year, will see the creation of around 600 jobs, with further, indirect employment expected to be generated, in particular in the tourism industry.
McArthurGlen Provence, with 25,000 sq m of gross leaseable area, will offer the most sought-after international and national names in luxury, designer and lifestyle fashion, with year-round savings of 30-70 per cent - all in a premium shopping environment, with the design and architecture reflecting the local Provencal style.
Works on site are planned to begin in 2015 with an opening for 2016.
Tourism sales have become increasingly important for McArthurGlen's 20 Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe. Last year, tax-free sales across all 20 centres rose by nearly 35% compared with the previous year. McArthurGlen works with local and national tourism partners, as well as having sales and marketing representative offices in Brazil, China, the Middle East, Russia and South Korea.

L’idea di creare un blog giornaliero per il mondo del retail nasce grazie ai continui feedback positivi che riceviamo dalle notizie condivise attraverso diversi canali.
Rivolto a tutte le tipologie di distribuzione presenti sul mercato: dal dettaglio ai grandi mall, dal commercio locale e nazionale alle catene di negozi internazionali, investitori, ai nostri fedeli clienti e chiunque altro è realmente interessato allo studio e all'approfondimento su ciò che guida il comportamento dei consumatori. E' anche un blog per tutti coloro i quali lavorano già nel mondo del Retail.
Verranno condivise le loro esperienze, le loro attitudini e le loro experties. Un blog di condivisione, quindi.
Ospitato sul sito della BRD Consulting, che da decenni lavora nel mondo distributivo Italiano ed Internazionale, il blog Store in & out riguarderà il business, i marchi e i comportamenti d'acquisto propri di alcune delle più grandi aziende.
Ci saranno anche notizie in lingua originale per dare evidenza dell’attenzione della nostra Azienda nei confronti del global.
