Outlets, the first city in central and southern Zhejiang, settled in Wenzhou.
Recently, many people passing through the Ouhai section of Shenhai Expressway have noticed a huge billboard — — "One-stop City Outlets Life Center" is the Yintai City Wenzhou Outlets, which is recently tearing down the wall and starting to show the whole picture. The reporter learned that Yintai City Wenzhou Outlets is scheduled to officially open in November this year, which will be the first city outlet in central and southern Zhejiang.
It is reported that Yintai City Wenzhou Outlets Project is the opening work for Yintai Commercial to enter the field of outlets for the first time, and has now entered the stage of interior decoration. It is reported that the store has a building area of 220,000 square meters, a business area of 140,000 square meters, three floors on the ground, a single floor area of more than 40,000 square meters, 3,500 parking spaces and a super-large ecological square of 80,000 square meters.
Different from the traditional outlets, Yintai City Wenzhou Outlets not only has famous products and popular discount clothes in the traditional sense, but also has rich living facilities such as IMAX Broadway cinema, Yonghui boutique supermarket, Magic Shell Children’s Recreation Center and large-scale sports professional supermarket.
"After the opening, it will become the first city outlet life center in Wenzhou and the first city outlet in central and southern Zhejiang." The relevant person in charge of Yintai City Wenzhou Outlets told the reporter that Yintai City was originally an experiential shopping center integrating catering, sports and entertainment, living facilities, cinemas and gyms. Now it will strengthen the unique format of "famous products+discounts" in clothing retail, and this positioning will be clearly different from other urban complexes.
Wenzhou retail industry analysts believe that the nearest outlet to Wenzhou is located in Huangyan, Taizhou, and its statistics show that a considerable number of tourists come from Wenzhou. The city Ole is the new favorite of retail business.

On May 1st, a comprehensive underground mall covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters will be unveiled on the first floor of Buildings 2 and 3, Fengwei Street, Nantang, downtown.
"In their spare time, many citizens like to take a walk and stroll around Nantang Street, but apart from eating, drinking and having fun, they always feel that there is a lack of shopping places nearby." After learning that Nantang Underground Mall will be opened, Mr. Wang rented two stores to run children’s wear stores for the first time. Like Mr. Wang, there are still many merchants who turn their attention to the underground shopping mall of Nantang Street. In the past two days, the underground mall shops have entered the final decoration and layout stage.
On the morning of April 27th, the reporter saw the shops in the underground mall lined up in turn along the east and west passages, bringing together more than 60 brands in Wenzhou and at home and abroad, including 11 categories of imported goods, daily necessities, leisure goods, home life, brand-name shoes and clothing, music equipment, luggage and leather goods, and about 30,000 items.
"At present, 71 merchants have settled in the underground mall, and the business hours are from 10 am to 10 pm. I hope that the appearance of the mall will further enhance the format of Nantang Style Street." The person in charge of the operation and management of Nantang Fengwei Street is introduced.
The person in charge of the company said that the planning function of Nantang Fengwei Street was initially positioned as a comprehensive tourism and cultural business district integrating catering, leisure, entertainment, culture, tourism and shopping, and it was called "Wenzhou City Living Room". However, at present, there are many restaurants in Nantang block, and this business format is not very satisfactory. In April 2018, the first lease of Nantang Street will expire. At that time, each building will be divided into multiple tenders to avoid subletting, so as to gradually adjust some formats in the block and retain enterprises with high visibility and good brands.
