Belz Factory Outlet World
Opens In Puerto Rico

Everybody loves a bargain. No wonder there was so much excitement during the soft-opening, on August 16, 2001 of Belz Factory Outlet World, the largest mall of its kind in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. That day, the outlet mall opened its doors in Road Number 3, in Canóvanas, on the way to El Yunque.

Convenience and comfort are key words to describe Belz Factory Outlet World, as it is the only one of its kind to be totally enclosed and air conditioned. Shopping at Belz recreates the experience of strolling through the streets of Old San Juan. But fun shopping and entertainment are as important, since the beautifully decorated mall also features the old city from dawn to dusk. The design of the five interconnected buildings that comprise the mall utilizes subtle lightning and color scheme changes that gradually create a day to night atmosphere.

Belz Factory Outlet World was inaugurated with big attractions both for local shoppers and tourists that flock the northeast area, one of the most beautiful areas of Puerto Rico. Of course, attractions start at fabulous discounts of up to 75% of retail prices.

Belz Factory Outlet World offers 446,000 square feet of space occupied by the most exciting stores. There you will find such prestigious names as Nike, Gap, Dockers Levis, Maidenform, Samsonite, Tommy Hilfiguer, Polo, Mikasa, Timberland, Reebok, Guess, Oshkosh, Warnaco, Papaya and Geoffrey Beene, among many others, offering their products directly from the factory, avoiding intermediaries and, thus, at very significant discount prices.

Only minutes away from some of the most sought after vacation spots, such as Westin Río Mar Resort, Ritz Carlton and El Conquistador hotels, this inviting mall is also steps away from some of Puerto Rico's landmarks, such as 19th Century Fajardo Lighthouse, the Fajardo Phosphorescent Bay and its Marina and so many other beautiful spots of our Eastern coast.

Besides the charm of the architectural rendering of Old San Juan, the mall's interiors are enriched with ceilings painted to reflect Puerto Rico's plush vegetation and fauna.

In fact, Belz Factory Outlet World has been designed to provide a singular shopping and entertainment experience. Working with world renowned architectural firm "The Jerde Partnership", Belz Enterprises have put their best resources to provide extremely attractive facilities with an easy to reach and widely visible location to serve more than one million affluent local shoppers of the area as well as the more than 4 million tourists that visit Puerto Rico each year. Shoppers from all over the island love to enjoy a day's outing to experience an exciting shopping and entertainment spree.
