Who doesn't love shopping? Even those who consider it a waste of time are sometimes forced to go shopping.

The outlets include last year's collections that were not fully sold in the main stores. But to ensureregular renewal of the assortment, there is an international rule that says that the oldest things that are allowed to be sold here must belong to collections released a maximum of two years ago.

Pricing policy
"Outlet Village Pulkovo" is not ordinarya shopping center that lures customers with non-existent discounts. It functions in accordance with the laws that apply to this format. At the same time, the brands presented here independently set the size of discounts. In a typical period, they vary from 30 to 50%. But when there are periods of sales, they can reach 80%. In addition to last year's collections, new ones can be presented here. Usually these are things that are produced in fairly large quantities, some of which immediately go to the outlet.

A distinctive feature of Russian outlets is that clothes, shoes, accessories and household goods are represented here not only by expensive brands. There are a sufficient number of brands belonging to the middle price segment. This is due to the fact that the rise in the price of the dollar and the euro has made serious adjustments to the cost of foreign things, making them less affordable for many buyers.
