The story
In 1986, Cheryl McArthur and Alan Glen founded McArthur/Glen Realty Corp in the United States, a real estate investment trust, which was later folded into Horizon Shopping Malls in the 1990s.
In April 1993, McArthur and Glen, alongside Kaempfer Partners, founded McArthurGlen UK Limited as a separate company to the former American namesake. It opened its first mall in 1995, the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.
In June 2013, Simon Property Group purchased a stake in the McArthurGlen Group.
On 9 July 2015, McArthurGlen Group opened its first outlet in North America at Vancouver Airport.
During 2025 and 2026, three McArthurGlen properties were sold to Frasers Group, the properties sold were Swindon Designer Outlet, East Midlands Designer Outlet, and York Designer Outlet. They were all rebranded under the Frasers Plus brand.
