Cologne, 21 September 2022 // Zalando, one of the leading platforms for fashion and lifestyle in Europe, is celebrating the reopening of its Cologne Zalando Outlet at Schildergasse 70-72 today. The store had been located in the Quincy shopping mall, Breite Straße 80-90, for the past six years. Its move to the city's main shopping street comes in the year of Zalando Outlets’ tenth anniversary.

The total of three floors and over 1,800 square meters of retail space not only provides the opportunity for customers to shop for a wide range of designer and branded products at reduced prices, just as they could in the previous Cologne store. The range has also been expanded to include children’s clothing and women’s lingerie.

A completely new category for women, ‘Pre-Owned’, will also appear in the Cologne Zalando Outlet. Good-as-new second-hand garments are marked with a separate label and are located in a specially designated sales area. Customers can enjoy the same return rights for these items as for all other products in the outlet store.

"We are really happy with the positive response from Cologne's fashion fans who have visited us over the past six years, and we are delighted with the Zalando Outlet’s move to Germany's oldest shopping street", says Dorothee Schönfeld, Director Zalando Outlets. “It's not just the location that's new for the Schildergasse store: The addition of our Pre-Owned range gives Cologne residents the opportunity to give clothes another life as well," Schönfeld continues.

Over the last 10 years, Zalando Outlets have offered clothing, shoes and accessories as well as beauty and home products that were previously available in the Zalando online shop or the Zalando Lounge shopping club. This gives items, including many returns, another chance to become someone's favorite piece.

The outlets also make it possible to experience the Zalando brand offline, because whether you are in Cologne, Hamburg, Leipzig or Constance, the Zalando Outlets represent a special shopping experience. Customers can find up to 15,000 items from around 500 brands in each store. The outlets are centrally located in city centres, reflecting local characteristics and referencing their respective surroundings. In the new Zalando Outlet in Schildergasse, light installations display well-known Cologne icons, such as the cathedral or the Hohenzollern Bridge. The store’s design is spacious, clean-cut and inspiring, with wide aisles, free Wi-Fi and a lounge area with smartphone charging facilities.

More than 500 people are currently employed in the 13 Zalando Outlets across Germany. Job opportunities, including ones for the new store in Cologne, can be found here.
