British designer outlet operator McArthurGlen has said that it is opening its fourth designer outlet in Italy near Naples. The opening is expected for 2007. The new outlet will encompass 26,000 square metres and will be "one of the most spectacular McArthurGlen outlet villages". Its existing outlet centres sell brands such as Bulgari, Dolce e Gabbana, Prada, Nike, Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo, Ermengildo Zegna and Brioni.

"We're very much looking forward to opening our centre near Naples and we're confident that the experience we've garnered through our existing centres in Italy will enable us to make a success of our newest development and that we'll give the Campania region of Italy a designer outlet centre to be proud of," said chairman KW Kaempfer in a statement. The company operates 13 designer outlets throughout Europe.
