The Tampa Premium Outlets Are Open!
As you’re probably already aware, the new Tampa Premium Outlets opened on 10/29 with an event-filled grand opening celebration. If you haven’t dared to brave the crowds yet, here are some of the highlights that await you.
The Shops.Well, let’s cut right to the chase! This shopping destination definitely has an impressive array of upscale stores, many which can also be found in similar outlet malls such as Ellenton and Orlando. The usual brands can be found here too like J.Crew, Gap, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Carters, Osh Kosh, Coach, Rack Room shoes, Columbia and so many other great names. Here’s the full list for your convenience. But we’d like to call attention to a few more of our factory store faves that you don’t often find in our area: The Disney Store, Toys R Us Express, Yankee Candle, Lucky Brand, Michael Kors, Sperry Top Siders, Janie and Jack and Swarovski.
The Saks Off Fifth was loaded with premium designer brand merchandise at discounted rates and will certainly give Nordstrom Rack some competition. And for those in the market for athletic gear, luggage, perfume or chocolate confections, the Tampa Outlets offers multiple stores within each category to shop at including Adidas, New Balance, Nike, Under Armour, Tumi luggage, Samsonite and Godiva chocolates and more.
Layout. The Simon Property Group has a long heritage developing well-appointed outlet malls and the Tampa location does not disappoint. The outdoor mall concept is beautifully executed here with rows of stores flowing in a manageable arrangement, with five different restroom stations located conveniently throughout. At the focal point is a Key West-style courtyard area that includes a covered bride, a pond feature, outdoor stage plus plenty of palms and greenery.
Food Court.The food court is located inside the Market Hall building which is featured near the courtyard and offers eatery options like Johnny Rockets, Villa Fresh Italian and Green Leaf’s plus other quick service spots. This is a nice place to grab a bite to eat while taking a shopping break.
Upcoming Holiday Promotions. Special shopping promotions haven’t slowed down since the grand opening and with Black Friday right around the corner, there will be plenty of discounts and holiday events forthcoming. You can also register to be a VIP shopper to get advanced notice of the next promotions. Be sure to check your favorite stores’ website to stay connected with the latest discounts.
