factory outlet
Manufacturer's retail location
A factory outlet is a retail store where a manufacturer sells its own products directly to consumers, typically at reduced prices.
The discount comes from eliminating middlemen, selling overstock, or offering items with minor defects.
Factory outlets often cluster in outlet malls located outside major cities: We drove an hour to the factory outlets to shop for shoes.
