MERRELL, WILSON’S LEATHER AND TOYS“R”US EXPRESS INK DEALS FOR
SUMMER OUTLET OPENINGS AT WOODBURN COMPANY STORES


WOODBURN, Ore. – July 7, 2010 – Three widely recognized national retailers will bring their signature items at discounted prices to Woodburn Company Stores beginning this month. Known for function, fashion and fun, Merrell, Wilson’s Leather Outlet and Toys“R”Us Express are the latest to sign on with the West coast’s largest tax-free outlet center, which boasts more than 95 upscale retailers including recent new tenants Icebreaker, Esprit, Under Armour and DKNY.

“We’re thrilled about the addition of these three premium brands. Each has a loyal and dedicated following, and we know they’ll bring the quality, value and variety our shoppers have come to expect at Woodburn Company Stores,” said General Manager Teri Sunderland.

Merrell opened Friday, July 2, just in time for the 4th of July holiday crowds. Merrell was born in the Green Mountains of Vermont and has been providing outdoor enthusiasts with quality footwear, apparel and accessories to accommodate a broad range of needs and activities for 26 years. From the all-leather hiking boots for which they’re best known to performance wear suited to any outdoor—or indoor—environment, the 2,814-square-foot Merrell outlet store has everything needed for an urban trek or hiking adventure.

A leading specialty retailer of leather outerwear and accessories for both men and women, Wilson’s Leather has a 100-year plus history of providing luxury and style at exceptional value to the fashion-conscious consumer. Known for offering leather items in a range of textures and looks that wear as well as they work, Wilson’s prides itself on measuring every garment and accessory they make against an uncompromising set of standards. Wilson’s Leather Outlet will open the doors to its 3,417-square foot outlet store on August 20.

Famously known as THE authority on fun for generations of parents and their children, Toys“R”Us is the world’s leading retailer dedicated to toys and juvenile products. While smaller than stand-alone outlets and Toys“R”Us stores located in shopping malls, Toys“R”Us Express stores offer the same specialty services as their full size counterparts with a more limited selection of merchandise. Look for the 4,976-square-foot Express store to open at Woodburn in early August.
