Mountain Warehouse opens upsized store as Caledonia Park marks its strongest year yet
Railpen, manager of the £34bn railways pension scheme in the UK, has reported that Mountain Warehouse has opened its upsized location at Caledonia Park, the premium designer outlet village in Scotland. This comes off the back of a strong year for the destination, with year-to-date sales up 11% compared to 2024, and a raft of significant renewals.
Mountain Warehouse has more than doubled its store size at Caledonia Park by 70% to 6,276 sq ft, relocating next to the M&S outlet. The new store now stocks the outdoor retailer’s full range, from outerwear to camping equipment, as well as items from the Animal active lifestyle brand, creating a wider, more outdoor-inspired shopping experience.
This expansion reflects further commitment to one of the leading retailers within the centre, following the destination’s strong performance so far this year. Sportswear and outdoor sales have surged 16% year-to-date compared to 2024, underscoring the category’s role as a powerhouse of growth and the continued demand it generates from visitors across the region. Caledonia Park’s strong performance has driven brand renewals and attracted leading retailers like Superdry and Berghaus, who have reaffirmed their commitment to the location.
Maria Averkina, Asset & Development Manager at Railpen, commented: “Mountain Warehouse’s upsized store highlights the confidence retailers have in our location, and the ability to perform well, grow and expand as a result. Our destination continues to excel because we understand our customers and consistently meet their needs. As a result, we’re achieving our strongest performance to date, reinforcing Caledonia Park as the premium designer outlet village in Scotland.”
Sean Riley, Head of Acquisitions at Mountain Warehouse, said: “This upsize and opening was the natural next step for us at Caledonia Park as we continue to grow and connect with more customers. The outlet is a fantastic location with a real sense of community, and we’re excited to continue to share our passion for adventure with both locals and visitors.”
This announcement builds on Caledonia Park’s recent momentum, with new openings such as Jack & Jones and French Connection further strengthening its diverse retail mix. Together with Mountain Warehouse’s latest opening, these developments underline the outlet’s strong and growing appeal to brands and shoppers across the UK.
