factory store
Direct-from-maker retailer
A factory store is a retail outlet operated by a manufacturer, selling goods directly to consumers—often at reduced prices.
Originally located at or near the factory itself, factory stores now commonly cluster in outlet malls.
The appeal is bypassing retail markups, though merchandise may include seconds, overruns, or items made specifically for the outlet: We stopped at the factory store to get discounted shoes.
