The eagerly awaited Cotswolds Designer Outlet, located near the M5 in Gloucestershire, is set to open in early summer. Excitement has been building as job adverts hint at the retail stores that will soon inhabit the shopping center.
Situated just off junction nine for Tewkesbury, the outlet is an integral part of a larger development that encompasses the addition of 1,500 new homes in the area. Recent confirmations from several brands have added to the anticipation.
Adding to the roster, Skopes Menswear and Skechers are the latest brands to join the lineup at the Cotswolds Designer Outlet. With a history of over 75 years and multiple stores throughout the UK, Skopes Menswear is slated to open its new outlet in July. Meanwhile, the renowned footwear brand, Skechers, is also set to establish its presence in the shopping center.

The news of these latest additions comes on the heels of the announcement that renowned clothing brand Tommy Hilfiger will be opening a new store in the outlet. This follows the closure of its Gloucester Quays location in January 2022.
As the development near Tewkesbury progresses, the Cotswolds Designer Outlet is expected to generate around 500 new job opportunities upon completion. Managed by outlet operator Multi-Realm, the outlet is a central element of Robert Hitchins’ comprehensive vision for the 300-acre site. Upon its completion in two phases, the outlet will accommodate over 90 brands, alongside the Dobbies Garden Centre and Waitrose Foodhall.
