McArthurGlen UK Limited (trading as McArthur Glen Group) is a British shopping mall operator, founded in 1993.

Contents

The group operates over 20 shopping malls across the UK and Europe, and has a singular location in Canada. Its destinations are often self-branded as McArthurGlen outlets. The group specializes in factory outlet and luxury retail shopping malls. [2]

Background

In 1986, Cheryl McArthur and Alan Glen founded McArthur/Glen Realty Corp in the United States, a real estate investment trust, which was later folded into Horizon Shopping Malls in the 1990s. [3]

In April 1993, McArthur and Glen, alongside Kaempfer Partners, founded McArthurGlen UK Limited as a separate company to the former American namesake. It opened its first mall in 1995, the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. [4]

In June 2013, Simon Property Group purchased a stake in the McArthurGlen Group. [5]

On July 9, 2015, McArthurGlen Group opened its first outlet in North America at Vancouver Airport. [6]
