Retail Park
A retail park is a type of shopping centre found on the fringes of most large towns and cities in the United Kingdom and other European countries. Retail parks form a key aspect of European retail geographies, alongside indoor shopping centres, standalone stores like hypermarkets and more traditional high streets. Cushman & Wakefield define a retail park as any shopping centre with mostly retail warehouse units, of a size or larger. Retail parks have a number of retailers in a single location, but as opposed to an indoor centre, there is no roof, and they are therefore not weatherproof. History Retail parks originate in out-of-town retail locations containing big box retailers which are not suited to pedestrianised high streets, such as garden centres, home stores and supermarkets.
