Migros Outlet Switzerland 2026: 27 Locations, Discounts up to 75%

At the end of 2025, Migros operated 31 Outlet stores in Switzerland. Following the announcement of 26 November 2025, four of these will close in early 2026. The remaining 27 stores are spread across the regional cooperatives, from Ticino to the French-speaking Romandie. In these locations, Migros sells overstock, surplus inventory and clearance goods at discounts that, according to official communications, can reach up to 75%.

This guide collects the verified data: the location list, the confirmed closures, what you actually find at an Outlet (and what you do not), how shopping works and how it differs from Too Good To Go. All figures come from Migros primary sources and the leading Swiss daily papers.

Key Takeaways

Three points summarise the current state of the Outlet network:

• 31 stores at the end of 2025, 27 from early 2026. Migros Zurich announced on 26 November 2025 the closure of four Outlets (Eglisau, Aathal, Bachenbülach, Niederurnen). The 24 staff affected are being reassigned to Migros supermarkets. Sources: 20 Minuten, Tages-Anzeiger.
• Discounts up to 75%. This is the wording Migros uses in official communications, in particular at the recent openings in Basel (Efringer, Claramarkt) and Porrentruy. Consumer magazine K-Tipp notes that actual reductions vary by category.
• Outlet is not Too Good To Go. Outlet stores sell goods not yet near expiry, mostly non-food. Food items close to the best-before date go through Too Good To Go, a programme with 903 participating Migros stores and average reductions around 67%.

What Migros Outlet Stores Actually Are

A Migros Outlet is a retail location that gathers leftovers and surpluses from the supermarkets and from the group's own industry. The official positioning, taken from corporate statements, describes the assortment under four headings:

• Leftovers (Restbestände) from regular Migros supermarkets.
• Surplus stock from the regional warehouses.
• Overproduction from the Migros industrial division (M-Industrie).
• Clearance items from third-party suppliers and end-of-series goods.

Main categories on sale: women's, men's and children's clothing, household goods, toys, garden items, stationery and leisure products. The food section exists but is in the minority: large packs, M-Industrie surplus, some confectionery and beverages. Best-before dates sit comfortably within normal limits, not at the edge.

An important clarification: Outlets do not sell damaged, expired or spoiled goods. This is a common confusion worth clearing up, if only to avoid wrong expectations.

Discounts up to 75%: What They Apply To

The official Migros wording is "up to 75 per cent", cited among other places at the opening of Migros Outlet Porrentruy (August 2025). Field tests show a more nuanced picture:

Source: official Migros communications (corporate.migros.ch), K-Tipp and BZ Basel reporting on the 2024-2025 openings. Percentages vary by store and season.

The point regular customers agree on is unpredictability. An Outlet does not work like a supermarket: the same well-priced product this week may be gone next week. If you go looking for one specific item, you risk not finding it. If you go in without specific expectations, you often find something worthwhile.

The list above contains 22 stores confirmed by name. The remaining locations to reach 27 include other Outlet stores of Migros Vaud and Migros Ostschweiz that have not yet been communicated publicly with a fixed name. Migros updates the network periodically: the exact count should always be verified on the official page.

The Four Migros Zurich Closures

On 26 November 2025, Migros Zurich announced the closure of four Outlet stores in early 2026. The affected locations are:

• Eglisau (canton Zurich)
• Aathal (canton Zurich)
• Bachenbülach (canton Zurich)
• Niederurnen (canton Glarus)

Twenty-four employees are affected. The cooperative has confirmed that each is being offered a position in a Migros supermarket in the same region. The Outlets in Zurich-Herdern and Winterthur remain operational, as does the Wallisellen-Glattzentrum location.

For readers in Ticino, the three Ticino locations (Grancia, Bellinzona, Taverne) are not affected. They are run by a separate cooperative (Migros Ticino) which operates independently of Migros Zurich.

Outlet or Too Good To Go? The Differences

There is a frequent mental overlap between the two programmes. It is worth keeping them apart because they work differently.

In practice, the two channels are complementary. If you want to save on clothing, household goods and toys, you go to the Outlet. If you want to reduce food waste and accept some surprise, you use Too Good To Go.

How to Make an Outlet Visit Without Wasting Time

Three practical rules drawn from regular shoppers' experience:

• Check the store on the official website before driving over. The assortment changes from week to week. A phone call or a glance at the store page avoids facing empty shelves.
• Go with a flexible list. Not a rigid list of specific products, but rather categories ("kids' shoes", "pans", "birthday gift") that leave room for what you actually find.
• Do not skip the last opening hours. Towards the end of the day the shelves thin out, but sometimes the final prices are reduced further to clear space.

A note on payment: in all Migros Outlets the Cumulus card is valid, with the usual return of around 1% in points. Major credit cards are accepted. Some Outlets also accept TWINT.

Other Ways to Cut Household Spending

Outlets are one channel, not a complete strategy. To build a broader household budget plan, a dedicated guide collects the eight strategies verified by K-Tipp and Famigros: from economy brands such as M-Budget and Prix Garantie to the 2025 changes to the duty-free allowance for purchases in Italy (now reduced to CHF 150 per day).

Grocery saving strategies in Switzerland 2026

On the financial side, an annual review of a few recurring budget items is often worth more than months of supermarket discounts:

• Health insurance premiums 2026: premiums vary by 30-40% between funds for the same coverage.
• Bank account without fees: some Swiss banks offer accounts with zero monthly fees.
• Electricity supplier: in certain cantons the supplier can be switched.

Conclusion

Migros Outlets are an interesting channel for anyone looking for clothing, household goods and end-of-series items below the list price, with discounts that can reach 75% by category. From early 2026, the network shrinks from 31 to 27 stores. Three points to remember: the assortment is unpredictable (best to visit with open expectations), the stores change (check filialen.migros.ch before driving over), and Outlets are not Too Good To Go (for food close to expiry the app is the dedicated channel).
