Excitement is building as the highly anticipated Cotswold Designer Outlet prepares to open its doors off the M5 near Tewkesbury this summer, with an expected launch in July 2025. This flagship shopping centre, located just off junction 9 at Platinum Drive, is set to become a premier retail and dining destination in the region.
Following the approval of planning permission and the commencement of construction, the development has rapidly taken shape. Work is now nearing completion, and a surge in job postings for retail and hospitality positions highlights the centre’s imminent opening. Nestled beside Dobbies Garden Centre, the outlet will open in two phases, forming part of a larger development project that also includes 1,500 new homes.
Shoppers can look forward to an impressive lineup of 44 stores featuring some of the biggest names in fashion and lifestyle. Leading the way are globally recognized brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, BOSS, and Levi’s, promising a diverse and stylish shopping experience. Additionally, a variety of food and drink options will ensure visitors have plenty of choices to relax and refuel while they shop.
