An outlet store or factory outlet or “Best Saving Outlet” is a retail store in which manufacturers sell their stock directly to the public through their own branded stores. Often these stores are grouped together in outlet malls. The invention of the retail outlet store is often credited to Harold Alfond, founder of the Dexter Shoe Company.

Clothing, sporting goods, electrical products, cosmetics, and toys are among the types of items sold at outlet malls.

Outlet malls first appeared in the US as a development of the traditional factory outlet: a store attached to a factory or warehouse. An outlet mall places several such outlets under one roof in a convenient location, usually an “out-of-town” site. The out-of-town site minimizes overhead costs.

Although Canada has its own outlet malls, American outlet malls located in border states have become tremendously popular with Canadians engaging in cross-border shopping.

This is what your house look like without China!

August 11, 2009 - 10:18 pm 23 Comments

Pretty much everything you wear, everything you sit on, everything you look at, everything you type into or talk into was probably made in China.

Made in China labelTake it all away and what would you have left? Let me know. (To make this point, an American journalist, Sara Bongiorni, recently wrote a book A Year Without Made in China about her efforts to live without Chinese-made products. She found it pretty tricky.)

China makes around 80% of the world’s photocopiers, 65% of the world’s mobile phones, 60% of its digital cameras, 50% of its computers and 45% of its microwaves.

This has a huge effect. It’s thought that Chinese-made products save the average shopper in the UK hundreds of pounds a year. Chinese production and Chinese spending mean that people in the UK get cheap goods and low interest rates. So we are all coming to depend on what happens in this country.
