The designer Outlet Roermond is growing steadily. The shopping center currently has 185 shops and more than 200 design brands on a total rental area of around 46,700 square meters. In 2024, a total of 8.3 million guests visited the center. If it goes to McArthurglen, the parent company of the designer Outlet Roermond, the center should be even bigger. This growth plan for the center causes concern among the municipality of Roermond and the residents, as local media, including de Limburg and Roermond Nieuws, reported.
McArthurglen has presented a future vision that provides that the outlet center should grow by twelve percent in the coming years. This expansion would lead to 3500 square meters of additional sales space and 1500 square meters of gastronomy area. The final goal is to increase the annual number of visitors from around 8 million to 10 million.
The Roermond city administration announced that such an extension would have a major impact on traffic, infrastructure and quality of life, reports the Roermond Nieuws local newspaper. In response to these concerns, the municipality had an independent impact analysis carried out by the DTNP research office in order to determine the consequences of the expansion.
McArthurglen still had to make a formal expansion application for the designer Outlet Roermond. Only then will the municipality form a project group with inner city entrepreneurs: inside that will check the plans and weigh against the interests of the city.
