Opening Hours of Foxtown Factory Outlet Stores Mall
Foxtown Factory Outlet is open seven days per week from 11 am to 7 pm. The factory stores are not only open on Sunday, which is very rare in Switzerland, but on many public holidays as well. (Of course not over Christmas, New Year, Easter Sunday, and August 1.)
Grab a map on arrival – the layout of the mall is slightly confusing at first and it will be easy to miss a large part of the mall if only following the main circular walkway.
Shoppers arriving early are not only rewarded with the standard discounts ranging from 30 to 70% but also very easy parking. Later on a busy weekend, the parking garages do fill up.
Food and drink is available from various cafés and mostly self-service outlets but the quality is fairly good. The Chalet Suisse restaurant serves fondue and other Swiss classics.
Adults may gamble in the onsite Admiral Casino.
