Factory outlet centre
Explanation:
Factory outlet centres are becoming more and more common over here in the UK offering products at cheaper prices as no middleman or retailer is involved in the chain. They're also sometimes used to sell off (slightly) damaged or irregular stock at cheaper prices.

neutral  AntDunn: It depends on whether it's UK or US English. If it's US then "outlet mall" would definitely be the correct translation, "outlet centre" for the UK
