Before You Leave Home

Tips for a Better Outlet-Shopping Day

A little planning can help you save time, avoid crowds and make the most of the available discounts.

01

Check the Store Directory

Outlet tenants change periodically. Confirm that your priority stores are still open before making a long trip.

02

Review Hours Before Visiting

Hours may differ on Sundays, holidays and during seasonal events. Always verify the current schedule.

03

Join the Outlet Rewards Program

Many outlet operators offer free memberships, digital coupons, cash-back opportunities or member-only promotions.

04

Arrive Early

Morning visits generally provide easier parking, lighter crowds and a better opportunity to browse comfortably.

Dress for the Location

Most premium outlet centers are outdoors. Bring comfortable shoes and check the forecast before leaving.
