The Cotswolds Designer Outlet near the M5 in Gloucestershire is gearing up for a much-anticipated opening in early summer 2025. As the construction progresses, the official announcement is awaited, but strong indicators suggest a launch in July, with an increasing number of job adverts for the retailers and dining establishments within the shopping center, strategically located near junction 9 for Tewkesbury.
Set to be unveiled in two phases, this outlet, adjacent to the Dobbies garden center, is an integral part of a larger development that includes the addition of 1,500 new residences in the vicinity. The burgeoning interest is evident from the steadily growing job openings for renowned brands that have secured a spot at this new retail destination, with whispers of additional stores set to join the lineup, some of which have already been confirmed.
The Cotswolds Designer Outlet, stationed in Ashchurch, is anticipated to generate around 500 job opportunities upon completion and will be operated by Multi-Realm, a reputable outlet management company.
