Bicester Village is an outlet shopping centre on the outskirts of Bicester, a town in Oxfordshire, England.[1] It is owned by Value Retail plc.
Overview
The Bicester Village outlet shopping centre has about 131 stores and is located just off the main roundabout which brings the A41 into Bicester. In 2001, it was able to charge stores the highest rental of any comparable shopping centre in the UK,[2] and as of 2015 it attracts over 6 million visitors a year.[3]
Expansion
In 2012 there were plans to add a further 30 outlets which would involve the existing Tesco store being demolished, with a new Tesco superstore constructed nearby.[4] This would create about 500 new jobs to Bicester Village.[5]
