Don't bother, this is not an outlet mall to get excited about…read more will write more tomorrow, I had just done up a whole review on this, but then I fell asleep at my desk and hit the wrong darned button and it disappeared. In the meantime, shop elsewhere. I'm amazed any of these places are still in business, the place looks like a ghost town. Ok, so here is the deal on this place..... Santee is kind of an oasis in I-95 area of SC. There are some decent places for dining, and some cheap places to spend the night. What caught my eye (as we were getting off the highway to go to Clarks restaurant (see my reviews), I saw a sign for Russell Stover Outlet, and it was right among the signs for "SANTEE OUTLET MALL". i thought, "WOW! lil ole Santee has hit the big time now, they even have an outlet mall? Amazing!" Not that we wanted to shop, but I was thinking it was good for the locals and weary people who want something to do. We were on a quest for ice cream only.... I drove toward the outlet mall (after we had our nice lil lunch) to get us a couple of ice creams before we resumed our long drive. We drove down a road that was more leading to the gallows than leading toward a bustling center of a shopping mecca for the masses. Well, we couldn't believe this place, it was downright sorrowful, and I so feel for the people who live around there, to think this is probably the best thing they have within hundreds of miles. The few Name brand places that are still there MUST be using the location as a tax write-off, no way they could make ANY money here! Just wanted to warn you.....in case you might be fooled by the name! SHOP ELSEWHERE!

The walk path as many others have referenced are covered, which makes it nice when it's a very hot day. Also, the paths are so wide that you don't feel like you are crowded on top of one another. There are maps throughout so you can grab one easily versus trying to wing it. I also appreciate that they have a food court and various ice cream and coffee shops so if you need a quick bite it is easily accessible to you. Found parking to be easy to navigate and there are several different sections and lots. I didn't find a ton of discounts for reduced prices compared to what I would have expected for an outlet, but it's still fun to kill time when you are looking for something other than the beach to do. Who doesn't love retail therapy?

When I am visiting my family down South in Myrtle Beach, SC my father and I always find the need to…read morevisit the Tanger Outlets for one reason or another. It's usually for sneakers and while my Dad leans on New Balance of late, I've been hooked on Asics for the past few years and that leads me to one of the issues I encountered on this visit. Asics had closed their outlet store a few weeks prior to my paying the family a visit. Sure Pop found something he liked at NB but I was off my plan and needed to figure this out before we headed home. Now its important to know that there are so many shops of all different variety here at the Tanger outlet but I do not advise wandering around aimlessly to find them and instead grabbing one of the maps that are readily available and using it tactically. It's South Carolina after all and can be very very hot at times. I'd suggest that you arrive with a bottle of water to keep you hydrated and maybe a handerchief to dob the sweat off your brow. Oh yeah, also wear a hat, you can thank me later. Outside of the sneaker shops, my favorite stops are the entertainment shops, the places where one can find action figures, pops, and assorted t-shirts with pop culture characters or music icons. There are a number of snack stands and also little jewelry kiosks if you are looking for that kind of stuff. I recall a couple of refreshment stops like Ben and Jerry's but the others elude me as I cobble all of this together. You can hit their website and peruse and like I suggested, go in with a plan first and then noodle about. An important change I noticed this time around was a business office which offered some benches in air-conditioning and bathrooms for visitors to use. There are also a few vending machines with soft drinks, snacks and water, the latter being a very important need while shopping. There was a complimentary WiFi detected which I never mind having since it made check ins easier. That's all I've got on this one and can say that you will likely find yourself in the place for a couple of hours so do mark down where you parked since their lot is massive. Oh yeah and for those curious about the kicks. I decided on a couple of pair of Skechers, a brand I have not really owned many of but these were comfortable and was happy to give them a try. I walk quite a bit in my Big Apple Metropolis and need comfortable sneakers for that. Happy Shopping and remember....bring water :)

I finally visited the Smithfield Carolina outlet stores today. I'm really not an outlet shopper at…read moreall but I heard this location had a variety of stores and brands I enjoy. I did not get a chance to visit every store while on a time limit but I am happy with what I spent within my budget for the quality of items I purchased. I enjoyed shopping at the Adidas store. They had a 60% off clearance sale and I was able to purchase 2 outfits for my daughter priced at $7.99 & 10.99 per piece. The selection was excellent and I saw some adorable IVY Park sneakers and boots by Beyoncé. Customer service was excellent. I also visited the Lane Bryant store to purchase undergarments. The customer service was impeccable and the store was well stocked compared to Raleigh. I was very happy with the sale items I purchased and will definitely return to visit the remainder of the stores. This outlet mall could use a modern renovation so that is the only negative.
