PlaNNEd iN GErmaNY Germany’s second wave of outlet development The first wave of German outlet-center openings occurred in the late 1990s, and the so-called second wave is now occurring with at least five new centers scheduled to open in 2012 alone.

After completion of phases 1 and 2, the 26,000-m2 Designer Outlet Neumünster will have more than 130 shops and 2,500 parking spaces, making it the largest outlet center in Germany.
