What is Outlet Shopping?

Upscale, fashion conscious shoppers who prefer designer labels have found that all outlet centers are not all the same. Outlet shopping centers are where shoppers can expect the largest collection of designer brands. Chelsea Premium Outlets brings together the finest brands, unique outdoor settings, and savings of 25 to 65 percent every  day.

Outlet Mall Shopping with Teenagers

A terrific solution my friends and I have found is to take them on a whirlwind shopping trip through our local outlet mall. Plan on a full day of shopping fun, and be sure to take a break at the outlet’s food court. Budget out your spending before heading out by checking out the list of stores at the mall. Some of my favorites are the Levi’s store, BCBG Max Azria, Coach, London Fog, Benetton, Calvin Klein and so many more. Outlets malls often have exactly the same merchandise as their high-end individual counterparts, sometimes even have overstock that hasn’t yet even gotten to the merchandisers, and occasionally, bargain bin closeouts with such amazing prices your eyes will pop!

I highly recommend doing a little advance planning: Before you even think about heading to the mall, do a little research online to see where the malls in your area are located, their hours, what stores are there, etc. Make your first stop in the Outlet Mall at the Information Booth, often called Customer Service and often located in or near the Food Court. Many times, the Information Booth attendant will surprise you with a coupon book, good for additional discounts and freebies, for instance, a FREE Soft Drink in the Food Court! Grab a Mall map for each person in your party, and plan a route. Don’t forget to choose and circle a meeting place, in case your wandering, wide-eyed teenagers get distracted and ‘misplace’ the grownups. Set a meeting time, and make sure everyone understands that meeting in the selected spot at the selected time is mandatory!  Cell phones can be very handy to communicate with each other while shopping, and are a great way to keep in touch

Shopping malls reached their zenith nationally and in Texas in the late 1980s. Since then, malls have lost some of the consumer traffic they once attracted. But don't write them off as passe. Malls are changing to bring back their target customers--value-conscious Baby Boomers and their children, the members of the Baby Boomlet.

The national highway system, which spurred the growth of suburbs, also fostered the shopping mall phenomenon. Typically located near a highway, malls evolved into clusters of hundreds of stores surrounded by thousands of parking spaces. World class shopping and dining experiences plus exceptional savings at America's most exciting destinations.

Retail entertainment centers are the latest trend in mall design. According to U.S. News & World Report, "retailers that offer neither the high-end experience nor rock-bottom pricing are likely to continue to suffer." The "high-end" establishments cited by the magazine offer atmosphere and entertainment.

Factory stores originated in the mid- to late 1800s as back rooms where a single manufacturer sold irregular, damaged or outdated merchandise--first to employees, then to customers.

Today's factory outlet malls house hundreds of stores and rival conventional shopping malls in the amenities they offer to shoppers.

Generally, outlet stores carry merchandise delivered directly from the manufacturer; less than 15% is irregular, marked as such and further discounted. Prices at outlet stores average 30-70% below prices at conventional department or specialty stores.

According to Outlet Bound, an on-line directory, Texas has 18 outlet malls with more on the way.

Many outlet malls are located far from their department store counterparts because manufacturers want to avoid competition between their factory stores and the large retail stores that carry their merchandise. Outlet malls are often sited between metropolitan markets on major highways or near tourist attractions or vacation spots. Vacationers are a particular target because they usually have money to spend and may not mind taking a day off from sightseeing to shop--especially if they can find a good deal.
