Always free to stand out

At Marques Avenue Group, we have always preferred to blaze new trails rather than follow well-trodden paths.

As pioneers of outlet shopping in France for over 30 years, we have transformed an industrial model into a truly attractive and successful shopping experience. by uniting our business lines, integrating leisure activities, dining, omnichannel retail, and more, all while placing innovation at the core of our strategy.

Today, we continue to imagine the retail of tomorrow: a free, responsible, creative retail experience designed for both brands and customers.

Because our passion remains unchanged: helping brands stand out even more.

Marques Avenue is a place that takes the stigma out of outlet shopping. It is a desirable place where good deals go hand in hand with pleasure, and where everyone—brands, partners, visitors—is invited to express themselves freely. We are a playground for brands, a field of exploration for customers, a space of opportunity for collections. At Marques Avenue, ideas are in motion. And they move with you. Marques Avenue, free to stand out."

A niche sector... and a model for the future

Long considered in France as a separate format from large shopping malls, outlet stores have proven their uniqueness: a rare model capable of combining attractiveness and resilience.

Born in the 1980s in the tradition of factory outlets, it had a simple mission: to sell unsold items at bargain prices. But the story didn’t end there. Little by little, the outlet changed in nature. Over time, it evolved into much more, a destination where brands present overstock, past collections, or slightly imperfect items, all at prices around 30% below the original.

Above all, its DNA has been transformed. The outlet has become a place of experience, designed for pleasure, for encounters, for connection. It has opened up, become more human, more hybrid. Today, it combines food, leisure, services, and digital technology, inspiring a new kind of retail: more attentive to expectations, more responsible, more vibrant.

It is this ability to reinvent itself without denying its vocation that makes the outlet a model for the future. At Marques Avenue Group, we are convinced that the future belongs to hybrid, agile, and bold formats.
