Pros: The bathrooms are super nice and clean! Love this! And the grounds are clean too. But the store quality has gone way down? Where did BCBG go? There are a few good stores left like Coach, Nike, Banana Republic, and RL, but super disappointed it seems a lot have closed down. read more

I wish there were more stores here but I can usually always find what I'm looking for (me or anyone in my family). It's clean and safe.

Waste of time driving up here from midtown Phoenix. Too many empty storefronts and the few stores I went into had "sales" that were no better that what I could find closer to home. If you live nearby it might be worth checking out since there isn't much nearby but definitely not work the drive from other parts of town read more

Outlets of Anthem is the foundation of the Anthem Community. From high end stores to family recreation activities, there is always something going on at this mall. There are many stores within the mall and some unfortunately do not stay but are quickly replaced with something new and exciting. read more

Not worth making a trip to. Stores I did like include Nike, Aero, Under Armour, and Columbia. Even with stores I liked, the selection in each was very low to say the least. Not as I remembered it. read more

I would only go to this outlet if I'm in the area. It might not be worth driving this far in the Phoenix area. My favorite stores are the North Face, Banana Republic, Gap, and Bose. The cafeteria is very limited, but the overall shopping mall is nice to walk around. The bathrooms are very clean and there is ample parking. I found some great deals during holiday shopping sales. read more

Horrible!!! Went there with my kids who flew in to visit hoping to take them shopping and what a disappointment. Most stores were closed up and empty. There were only a handful to choose from. This place is really out there compared to being near the larger cities and certainly was not worth the drive from Phoenix. Save the gas money. read more

I very much enjoy this outdoor mall. It's a great place to walk the pups and shop at the same time. Please keep in mind that not all locations are pet friendly. It would behoove the stores that are pet friendly to post a paw sticker on their doors. Thank you Peg W for your reply. Have a great holiday season and the kids say thank you :-) read more

Outlets North Phoenix - Outlet Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The quality of stores is lacking and there are entire areas that are vacant. The food court is a real let down too.

Nice selection of stores. Pretty much the same as every outlet mall that I have ever been to. We came here to what we thought was the north face outlet. It turns out it's a north face clearance store that sells unsellable merchandise that came from their normal distribution and other actual outlets. They had a bunch of one off items that just didn't impress me. Best part of the whole entire visit was express burgers. read more

The only good thing is you get to both outlet shop and visit a real Arizona ghost town if you come here. Half the retail space is empty, they actually removed some of it for more parking, probably so it doesn't look as pathetic. This place was screwed years ago, and with all the newer outlets in Phoenix that was the nail in the coffin. read more

This is a strange little complex of stores that calls itself an outlet mall. With the exception of a newer section tacked on one end that houses Banana Republic, Gap and J. Crew, it seems a bit shabby and outdated. The other tenant stores were just mediocre - really, do you need more than one Sunglass Hut location in a complex that isn't that big? Also, looking at some of the pricing, I have found that there are better deals to be had in the full-price, non-outlet versions of these stores and the quality is better, too. In order to end on a positive note, there is covered parking... read more

I like these outlets quite a bit, but I only go to them if I happen upon them on my way to somewhere else. I am just not a shopper! And, truth be told, I hate going west of 7th Avenue. The Coach outlet has 40% off sales every so often, which makes their bags a bargain (if you're into that sort of thing). There are three or four children's clothing stores that all offer pretty great deals on young kids' clothing. My favorite place to go at this outlet mall is the Vans store. I have bought several pairs of Vans for my daughter for $10-$20 instead of twice that or more. DH even got a couple pairs at Buy 1, Get 1 1/2 off (and that is off the already discounted prices). There is also a Pearl Izumi outlet there for you cycle enthusiasts. Even with the discounts, though, PI can be pricey. Last Christmas, this place featured the nation's tallest Christmas tree. It was pretty cool to see! SHOPPER ALERT: If you live in the EAST VALLEY, the developer of AZ Mills has already broken ground on the outlets right by Wild Horse Pass. We should have them by the Spring of 2013, if not sooner. read more

This place is such a let down. Stores are closing up and it's like a ghost town. There are so many better outlet centers surrounded by pad restaurants, with enticing and lively environments. Walking outside in the heat to pass empty store after empty store is not remotely a fun shopping experience. I give this mall ZERO stars. Save your gas and your time. read more

Unlike the last review I wrote about an unconventional outlet mall, Outlets At Anthem is EXACTLY what you'd think of when you think 'Outlet Mall'. It is one mammoth of a shopping center and it doesn't matter WHO you are - you will mos' def.' find *something* that catches your eye in any one of the multiple stores (total understatement) located in this complex. Whether you're looking for Gap, BCBG, Banana Republic, Book Warehouse, Calvin Klein, Bose, Claire's, Kitchen Collection, Jockey, Polo, Perfumania, Ultra Diamonds, Vans, or Yogurberry (JUST TO NAME A FEW), the Outlets At Anthem have got you covered. Being the avid swimmer that I am, I hit up the Nike Factory store and bought two (count 'em) TWO Nike swimsuits for $60. Usually one runs me about $75. Can I get a holllllllaaaa?!?!?!? The only reason I *had* to take off a star is because this is an outdoor outlet mall, and in a place like Arizona, that is INSANE. The weather was SO scorching hot that I would have PAID an entry fee to shop at an indoor, AIR CONDITIONED shopping complex. Ah well, still got the goods at the outlet prices. Can't complain...too much ;) read more

Outdoor mall. Very cleaned and well maintained. Pretty good places to shop at but it seems like everything is closing or going out of business. Only downside is walking in the heat here would be awful. read more

Seen better days. Almost vancant. Not sure why except prices are not really outlet prices. I will not be back.

best outlet I've ever been too... I give it 5 stars for the store selections from being out of town and believe it or not the bathrooms!!! They're clean!! and smell like vanilla when you walk in. Even the family rooms had a lowered toilet for the little one with a flower shaped toilet seat. Now that's taking shopping to a whole new level...hahaha read more

I like the shops at Anthem, however, I think a Ross should be added to the mix. Love this neat little outside mall. We went today and enjoyed food from food court which only offers 4 or 5 different chains and chocolate from the chocolate store. The grounds and everything were clean and inside was decorated very pretty. My only BIG con, is that while my kids and I were eating our dinner, a rat literally ran across the way to another bush and we could see it climbing up. This made me lose my appetite. read more

I've been to these outlets a few times to hit up Polo, Gap, and maybe Nike but didn't find anything else that got me excited. Well, that all has changed! We spent several hours there perusing Polo, Gap, Under Armour, Pearl Izumi, Banana Republic, and J.Crew! I've never seen my husband so happy shopping! We definitely walked away with some great stuff at great prices! I'm sure this will be a trip we'll make a few times a year to stock up! read more

I've been coming out to this outlet because of my wife. She just loves the Ann Taylor factory store. She always finds really good deals but she spends forever there. Right now she's been in there for 2 hours and counting. They have decent store I like to brows like Under Amour, Nike, Polo and Coach. They even have a Coach Men's store. Stores are pretty good but I always judge these malls by there food. Food court is weak not anything that really jumps out to me. Very basic with subway, pizza, Chinese, Mexican, and BBQ. Nothing really to write home to. I would say that the mall is very clean and nice little area for the kids to play. One thing I do like about this place is there is lots of benches all around to sit and relax. Since this is such a long drive out to here, it okay but since my wife loves this place then it's worth it. Come out and enjoy the nice weather. read more

This is a manageable size for an outlet mall. They also have food, which is a nice touch. I often need to refuel while shopping. I don't understand why someone thought it would be a good idea to make it an outdoor mall. It is hotter than haddes out here!!! The bathrooms are well maintained, with plenty of toilet paper and lacking icky smells. read more

They have a decent selection of stores here, in a broad range of categories. My favorites are the Banana Republic outlet, Kitchen Collection, and BCBG. Other notable names are Coach, Puma, and Polo/Ralph Lauren. read more

This is the kind of place you picture when you think of 'outlet mall' - large stores in an beigey outdoor complex with some food selections. It has all the basic players from BR, BCBG, Polo, J Crew, The Gap, etc... here. Normally I wouldn't come to a regular outlet since it doesn't carry any higher-end designers or dept stores, but I was surprised at their workout/outdoor clothing stores which includes Nike, Reebok, Columbia and Pearl Izumi which I love but is harder to find where I live. I picked up a few things here but I don't think it's worth a trip out if your time is limited. read more

Updates! I went to RUE 21 with my coupon I got (from last review) and bought two pairs of jeans for 20 bucks. One's a dark jegging (jeans but feel like leggings), which is almost as good as Abercrombie & Fitch ones. read more

++++++++ Spent a pleasant day ..... Moving from bench to bench ++++++++ Accompanied my Wife, Daughter and Granddaughter. This shopping spree was all about the 3 year old. We had lunch in their Food Court ..... nice atmosphere. They had a Grand Time spending ..... way "to much". The Center is clean and well groomed. read more

Went to Skechers. Outstanding selection and customer service. Not many maps to guide you. Many stores vacant. Not sure outlets really save money. Food court was very nice. read more

The only people who shop at Under Armor, look like they've never seen a gym in their lives. The Nike store also was full of people who look like they neither run, are into sports or going to the gym. My wife bought a purse at Coach there. Not bad. The refreshment machines scattered throughout are a rip off. $2 for a small bottle of water and there are no water fountains that you could drink out of. I didn't think the deals were all that great. But then again, I personally don't like to buy fancy clothes. read more

Very family friendly. It isn't too busy which is great for families. Dog friendly a plus! There are outlets that have lines that go out the door for Coach and Michael Kors - not here. Nice shopping experience. The splashpad is a great addition for the kiddos. read more

I mainly shop at Michael Kors and Saks 5th. I spend way too much but they have awesome deals!

Their park is absolutely terrible it's like they made it so kids wouldn't want to play on it would be nice if that had some decent restaurants read more

Stopped here on our way back from Sedona. Some good shops but like Glendale outlets better. Bathroom and food court are extremely clean.

Not bad. The entire mall is very clean. It is about 75% occupied which is good in this economy. They have a very large play area for kids if that is your thing. And a food court with lots of vending machines through out. Overall, I was able to get a lot of work clothes for a really good price. It was worth the drive for me read more

Nice clean outlets never busy, we like to eat at the outlets like Charley's and the Chinese food is good when you get it super fresh. They keep the area nice and clean and the air cooled room makes it nice. They have a few shops here make sure and check to make sure the store you want to shop is still open. A few stores have closed this year read more

This was the 1st time to this set of Outlets. They have several stores I would shop at. I went on Labor Day weekend around 5 PM, so it wasn't overly crowded, which was nice. Great discounts for the holiday. It's well maintained, which is nice too. They offer a nice food court, although I didn't find there. But I would if I spent more time there. I would go back again. read more

Ok so Im actually a resident in anthem, I live very close to the outlets Im there quit frequently mainly the children's place and bath&body works. Other than that Im not very fond of the other stores. If anyone knows outlet malls like I do you could probably say the outlets @ anthem are pretty low end as we speak. They could definitly upgrade on alot of their stores to become alot better. I've noticed in the past 9 months or so they have been putting in new stores "yay"!.... very soon in fact Oct. Nov. they finally got the hint. So keep your fingers crossed that they are stores worth having. Btw If your ever on the I-10 going to la they have premium outlets in palm springs that are definitly worth even the drive! = ) Hope this helped! read more

I'm spoiled by the outlet mall in Vegas cuz this one sucks. No Sketchers killed it for me, but I didn't see a ton of other shops I wanted to visit when I went looking for shoes. Bummer. read more

I would have given The Outlets at Anthem only three stars, except for a few things that have inched them into my four-star category. Although a lot of stores have left the mall, there have been some fantastic additions: Banana Republic, J.Crew and BCBG. Banana Republic and J.Crew tend to have some really good sales, and if you are looking for some cute dresses, BCBG has an awesome selection of them. Oh, and although it isn't new, their Ann Taylor Outlet store is also a great place to find awesome deals. Another great thing about this mall is that during the holidays they have a huge Christmas tree lighting event. The tree is supposedly the tallest, "animated" Christmas tree in Arizona (not sure what animated means.) This weekend was the lighting ceremony and it looked like it was going to be a big event. The mall also seems to be a very family-friendly and pet-friendly place, with a play area for kids and a lot of benches and grassy areas to hang out with your furry friends. It also seems to be quite the destination for a lot of out-of-town and foreign tourists, so be weary of crowds and sometimes confused and pushy people. My hope for the Outlets at Anthem is that they continue bringing in a good variety of stores (Coach, please!!!) and possibly expand to include a department stores. And, if they could work out some way of making it easier to leave the mall (turning left onto Anthem Way is a killer without a light), I'd be happy to give them the full-on five-star treatment. read more

I always drive by here on my way to Flagstaff but hadn't actually been here in almost a decade since when I actually lived in Phoenix. It was a pretty awesome place to stop and shop on a recent trip up to Flagstaff. We went to Banana Republic, J.Crew, Gap, GoLite and Under Armour. I found things I loved in all of those stores and had a fantastic time shopping with friends. I imagine it gets pretty crowded on the weekends, but on a Friday afternoon it made for an excellent way to break up a drive. read more

The Anthem Outlets have great options and are a reasonable size. You don't get lost. Or spend too much money because you go to a kitchen store and are like OOOOH A kitchen store! and you buy a bunch of stuff and then walk three doors down and you're like OOOOOH! A kitchen store! and buy more stuff and walk three doors down and are like OOOOH! A kitchen store! Thankfully, there's none of that. For reference, please visit the GILROY, CA factory outlets. Bad. Bad idea. Anthem, however, is outdoors, which is probably pleasant all but 3 months of the year, and has a great selection: J Crew, Nike, Harry and David, Pearl Izumi (I'm biased, fact. I was there to open our store there), Calvin Klein, GAP, among others. I walked into the J. Crew store and immediately dropped $100. Helping our failing economy, right? Food selection is slim. I don't eat fast food and Subway is meh. I brought my lunch every day. read more
