SloveniaThe Roses Designer Outlet near Sveti Križ Začretje, once envisioned as Croatia's first true factory outlet mall, is now facing significant financial difficulties and will soon go up for auction. The project, developed by the Austrian group Dayland and initially valued at around €50 million, has fallen into debt, prompting UniCredit Bank Austria to initiate enforcement proceedings against the owner, Rosis Unus, over a €12.02 million debt. The property's estimated value is €13.95 million, with the starting bid set at €11.16 million. Opened in November 2008, the outlet faced immediate challenges, including closures by inspection authorities due to incomplete infrastructure and unmet technical standards. Despite initial visitor numbers, the location proved less accessible for potential customers from Zagreb, leading to declining foot traffic and a reduction in stores. Over time, the complex lost much of its initial momentum, though management claimed ongoing transformation efforts. Today, however, the situation appears dire, with the outlet heading toward auction.
