Leave a comment
Reading Time:  4 minutes -

The Outlet Collection at Niagara will be opening as scheduled for Thursday, May 15th, 2014 at 10:00 am — just in time for the Victoria Day weekend draw to Niagara Falls. This Grand Opening event will feature many discounts, with up to 50% off in some of their retail stores! Join Ronald McDonald & Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Mayor at 11:30 am for the McDonald’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony where a McDonald’s coffee truck will be on-site all day giving away free coffee! There will also be balloon artists, face painting and a caricature artist for the children.

The new shopping centre adds 102 retailers to the large portion of land (520,000 square feet) at 300 Taylor Rd, Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is to be Canada’s largest open-air outlet shopping centre. The Outlet Collection at Niagara has announced all their retailers, which will also include some big “first in Canada” outlet locations: Bass Pro Shops Outpost, Pandora Outlet and the White House Black Market Outlet.

Retailers and Directory: 

“We are very excited to announce such an exceptional list of retailers. Not only does the roster include some extremely well-known and respected brands such as Kate Spade, NIKE, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors, we are also pleased to offer retail experiences that can’t be found anywhere else in Canada,” said Bri-Ann Stuart, General Manager, Outlet Collection at Niagara. “With more than 10 million visitors to the Niagara region each year, we intend on becoming one of the area’s top tourist destinations, drawing value-seeking shoppers from all over the world”.

The Outlet Collection at Niagara will really be making a focus on drawing tourism into Niagara-on-the-Lake, while also reducing cross-border shopping with keeping our locals in our city. Lord Mayor David Eke, told the St.Catharines Standard that “When we’re shopping here, the Outlets of Niagara will be the item that puts Niagara on the map”. It is expected that this new venture will draw in 6-8 million visitors per year, which is not only encouraging for the new outlet mall, but all our Niagara region businesses that will see some flow into their restaurants, attractions, hotels and other facilities, thus strengthening our local economy. It has also added close to 1500 full and part-time jobs to the region.

VIP and Group Tours are welcomed and hold special perks to visiting the Outlet Collection at Niagara. Click here for information on how they will welcome Travel Trade, FAM Tours and for contact information.
