Heritage fashion brand Fred Perry is set to open its latest store at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands. Debuting Saturday 17 July, the new store will offer streetwear/sports-based apparel for both men and women.

The opening comes as the outlets sector continues to be one of the most buoyant in UK retail. A raft of British and international names have been opening at the biggest outlet malls in recent periods and seem to be riding a wave of interest in bargain fashion post-pandemic

Mike Thomas, Centre Manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands said: “The new store [is] in good company among popular designer brands including Ralph Lauren, Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach and Ted Baker”.

The latest opening follows a programme of expansion for the Fred Perry brand. Last year saw some high-profile debuts as it opened stores in Milan, Madrid, Spain and Scotland. Earlier, it had opened a flagship store in New York’s Lower Manhattan and a music-themed location in London’s Camden.

Since opening in April 2021, the £160 million McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands has attracted more than 40 designer stores including Guess, Adidas, Calvin Klein, Under Armour and Radley.
