Tanger Outlets Commerce - Where Reviewers Are Many, But Enforcement Is... Selective As someone who reviews shopping centers often--on both Yelp and Google--I've come to expect a certain level of consistency, especially from a well-established outlet brand like Tanger. Usually, sharing photos and feedback is welcomed. Encouraged, even. At Tanger Locust Grove, I posted a review with photos and was personally thanked by the owner. But at Tanger Commerce, I discovered something quite different. While taking a few standard photos during my visit (like I've done at dozens of malls - some with almost 100k views), I was approached by a security guard, followed from across the complex from Nike to Marshall's, photographed, and informed that photography is prohibited unless I had a press or media pass. When I identified myself as a reviewer, hoping for some clarity or even conversation, I was met with suspicion and stone-faced enforcement. My boss makes me enforce this rule I was told - leaving me wondering who his boss is, as from the owners replies to other posts it clearly isn't them. Here's where it really gets confusing: a multitude of other reviewers--on both Yelp and Google--have uploaded photos of storefronts, interiors, signage, merchandise, and even selfies at this very location. Entire photo carousels exist, ranging from fashion displays to food court visits, without a whisper of consequence. One reviewer even uploaded 14 photos on Google and was publicly thanked by management for their "great review" and "wonderful experience." only a month ago. So I ask: if photos are truly not allowed here, why is enforcement only aimed at some of us? Why the inconsistency? And more importantly--where are the signs? None were visible. No policy posted. Just a sudden switch from shopping to being surveilled. Reviewers, take note: If you're documenting your experience, know that Commerce enforces its "rules" selectively. You may be ignored like the 50 reviewers before you--or you may get followed, photographed, and reminded you're not welcome to record your visit. P.S. - I'm not being paid for my reviews, nor do I have anything to gain from this. I just enjoy helping people find great places to spend their time and hard-earned money. But this place? This wasn't it and recommend it I do not. read more

We love the selection of stores here. Our favorite stores are Marshall's, Torrid, Crocs, and Bath & Body Works. You can find some great deals at Rue21, and there's a game/hobby shop down in the corner by the cookie place that is super cool! read more

The layout is easy to walk, stores are clean, and parking was convenient. I didn't find as many standout deals as I hoped, but it's still a decent place to browse if you're in the area. read more

So many stores to choose from! We shopped there last night and again today. Each store we went into the staff was friendly and helpful. Many styles to choose from. Great prices as well! My daughter is hoping we will go shopping again tomorrow before we leave to travel back home. read more

This place is a hidden gem that needs to be talked about! I was in need of a suit for an opportunity of a Lifetime, & I was anxious because I had an idea of how I should dress in order to impress, but was unsure if I'd be able to deliver based on selection near the Athens to Commerce Jefferson ish area lol. Oh, however!! Atlanta Suits Outlet & their staff all helped me execute to a perfection! My idea for the color pattern of the suit with the off set color of tie , belt , & shoes were all available & did more than just justice for what I needed it to be!

Not the first time we've stopped here but generally we're driving either to or from Atlanta and don't want to stop. This time was a bit different. We had had lunch with my eldest son Chris and his family. We ate at Buckner's Family Restaurant in Jackson GA and then went over to their house in Locust Grove GA to inspect some of his building projects and exchange Christman gifts. From there we left about 1:30pm heading back to Denver NC along with the rest of the Thanksgiving Mob heading home. Traffic in Atlanta is bad enough but add holiday traffic and it got bad really quick. Couple that with a few drivers who disregarded every traffic law on the books, and it quickly became insane. Finally made it up to I-85 and it improved and after the I-985 Split around Decatur, it smoothed out and was not bad except for occasional areas of Road Construction. Finally made it up to Commerce GA and we decided to take a quick break and visit a shop of two in the Tanger Outlets. My Daughter in Law had given me a very nice Polo Ralph Lauren Sweater and since they were having a 50% off sale, I wanted to get another one. I found exactly what I wanted. My wife wanted to try The Cosmetic Warehouse Store and while the stock was deeply discounted, did not find anything she wants. She's very picky about her Cosmetics so not surprising. After about 20 to 30 minutes, it was time to hit the road again. One more stop to get gas on the way and we got home a little after 6:30 pm Both of us were whipped after this trip. Tiring but well worth the trip read more

Some great finds with good exceptional prices I have purchased at Tanger. The quality of each was beyond what I expected. I am sad that 3 main stores we visited and bought items are no longer there. I recommend all who read this paragraph will give Tanger a visit find the deals available. read more

This particular Tanger Outlet is located just off of the highway and offers a lot of great stores. Some of these stores have very good deals and some of them have, well, typical retail prices. Either way, this is a great place to do some shopping. I have always enjoyed shopping at outlets. Again, not every place has great pricing, but sometimes you can find some amazing deals. I woukd definitely recommend here. read more

Great variety of stores with good price savings. Also, it's a short drive from Athens.

I don't know if you've been to an outlet mall lately, but most of them have gotten pretty lame. Half the stores are closed and the other half are stores that you can find outside of outlet malls like TJ Maxx and Marshals. This Tanger is still packed with stores - of course, we all know that most stores make items that are specific to their outlets, they aren't "outlets" as in the original intention of the word and this mall is no different. Just be mindful that a "bargain" is not always a bargain. {A big (huge) note about bait and switch. You can get discount coupons for the mall at rest stops, hotels, restaurants and with certain memberships such as AAA and AARP. Not all stores take these coupons, some stores require a minimum purchase, my Adidas purchase had to be $100 for example, and a bunch of other caveats are in the fine print. You will also see QR codes plastered everywhere to get a free coupon book and hefty discounts. When you open the QR code, however, you are asked for your credit card number to pay the $10 Tanger membership fee. Let me do a little funny math for you: assuming you already have the 15% off coupon, you HAVE to spend $200 of ELIGIBLE purchases to just break even for that $10. I dunno - I still think it's more of a bait and switch and a way to take that extra $10 out of my pocket for not a huge return.} Still, if you need a break from a long drive or if you live close enough just to go for an afternoon of shopping, definitely go to Tanger. read more

This is my second time out at this outlet. I like it a lot for several reasons. It's out doors, it has a lot of parking near whatever store you want to go to and they have a lot of good stores. I like out door outlets, especially in this time of covid. It doesn't get too cold in Georgia so it's good to be able to get out and enjoy the weather. They have so many good stores like Michael Kors, Polo, Guess, coach, Rue 21, Marshall's, Timberland, Kirkland just to name a few. It's something there for everyone in the family. When covid was not going on they had a shuttle to take you from one end to the next. Thats convenient for anyone that does not wish to walk. They have a lot of great food spots in the area. This place is worth stopping by to check it out. read more

This is another solid shopping option when it comes to outlets. They have a decent variety when it comes to the store choices. My favorites include the Levi store, Coach, Eddie Bauer, and Crocs. There is also a lot of stores I stopped in just to see what there specials were or to browse. They have a lot of options geared towards men , including a big and tall XL, which is really solid price wise. The coupon book may or may not help you here. I hate the gimmick of having a discount book then putting limitations on said discounts. I only used 2 out of the whole book on a visit. The one coupon did save me over 20 bucks so it was worth the 5 dollar investment. I feel that if you really want the full experience plan to stay a few hours. The layout is simple and easy to walk. No real food options in the outlets but plenty of choices close by. Highly recommended overall read more

With myNew traveling schedule, I'm heading up 85 from Château élan to Raleigh North Carolina a lot and I passed several outlet malls. I've come here for years but just haven't written a review. This is Tangor outlet in commerce. It's been here forever, well laid out, you wait for the best sale and there are some really good bargains with almost every vendor here. I'll bring my mother up here often as well as my kids and we spend hours and eventually a lot of money. But money saved Compared to Macy's or department stores. Big fan of Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, and Columbia in one of the malls in my trips but love these outlets at the right time. Staff is always adequate, knowledgeable so pleased with all the major stores I visit as service is always impeccable. Watch for the deals! Highly recommend. read more

Hours are wrong on google maps. But not a bad place to shop. If i knew before hand that they open later it would have been more convenient.

I can't count how many times I've driven past this place going and coming from NC. I love Tanger outlets, so I knew I had to stop here eventually. Finally did so a few days ago on my day off. This outlet is almost identical to the one in Locust Grove. Same layout. Almost all of the same stores. Spent about 2 hours here taking advantage of some great sales from my favorite stores. If you're traveling far like I did, eat something beforehand. Not much eating options within the outlet. A few chain restaurants nearby though. Definitely check out this outlet. Worth it! read more

I've driven by the Tanger Outlets on I-85 a countless number of times over the past decade. It wasn't until this year, I started seeing commercials on TV starring Steve Tanger himself that it piqued my curiosity enough to stop by Tanger the next time I passed by. The Commerce outlets are fittingly located on Steven B. Tanger Blvd. Tanger Factory Outlet Centers are headquartered in Greensboro, NC (next to my hometown of High Point). There are now 35 outlets in 24 states and the company is expanding into Canada. There are two locations in Georgia, strategically well-placed: one south of Atlanta on I-75 in Locust Grove and one north of Atlanta on I-85 in Commerce. The Commerce location is halfway between Atlanta and Greenville, SC. With no traffic from Atlanta, you can get to the Tanger Outlets in Commerce in about an hour and fifteen minutes. Take Exit 149. The Tanger Outlet Mall in Commerce has about 85 different name brand stores. This is significantly less than the number of stores at the North Georgia Premium Outlets (about 140 stores), which are located less than an hour north of Atlanta in Dawsonville. While Tanger has less stores, it's also less busy, which is a good thing. Eighty-five stores is still a lot. Check Tanger Commerce's web site (http://www.tangeroutlet.com/commerce/directory) to see if the mall has stores that are of interest to you. If it does, then it might be worth your while to go there instead of the more crowded and congested North Georgia Outlets. I went to Tanger while Thanksgiving holiday sales were going on and I didn't have to deal with any lines for fitting rooms or check-out. Parking was also a breeze. So if you're looking for a calmer, less hectic outlet mall experience, give Tanger a try. Sign up on Tanger's web site (http://www.tangeroutlet.com/) for the TangerClub for extra coupons and sales offers. read more

Tanger Outlets Commerce - Outside. - Outlet Stores Near Me - Commerce, Georgia

I went to purchase a suite pants that was $98 in their regular store but they marked it as $118. The store had sign saying 30-60 off everything and when I asked the sales person she said oh the pants by it self is not on sale. then why doess the sign says everything. I had to drive 30 miles there since they were the only store carrying my size. I am disappointment in express company and how the try to foul people with the outlet stores. Don't shop there if you don't have to. read more

I must be getting old and don't care for shopping. Back in the days, I used to love going to outlets and just browse. Nowadays, I rather shop online and go on Amazon. It's been years since I've been here. Luckily, I came here early before the crowds hit. I mainly came since it was on the way to a friend's wedding and wanted to check out some deals. Or I thought. I felt that the prices I saw here were competitive with I saw back home. On top of that, I didn't find that many options of selections either. Sad there is no food court or any food places. Maybe there was one but I definitely overlooked it. The best part is the bathroom. Very clean and has good seats. 34/2018 read more

I was nervous coming out here based on the location, but was pleasantly surpised. While this looks like can over sized strip mall it had plenty of parking and outlet shops that are on trend. This place is very clean from walking around out side. Plenty of outdoor sitting and a store like section for a indoor sitting and restrooms. We were here for about 2 hrs and didn't even get to every store. Definitly bring your walking shoes and sunglasses. read more

Not impressed, seems like most outlets have only overstock and out of date items. Many of their items are even flawed, badly sized and lacking in every way. Pricing is not any cheaper than other places, for lesser quality items. read more

This is a great place to shop & bring your family. We had a wonderful experience today. Hands down, the number one thing I was completely impressed by was their public restrooms and customer service facility! Everyone that we came into contact with was awesome and the bathrooms... Bathrooms are something that can totally ruin it for you, when you're away from your home and have to use them. This place rocks!!!! They have a super clean, welcoming mother nursing facility, amazing purse/diaper bag holder areas behind the toilet area (who wants to put their high dollar hand bag on the floor) SO clean here!!! Wish more would follow and realize if you clean well, and often it doesn't get dirty. Tanger Outlets, Commerce 5*****. The people doing the cleaning are incredible & doing the job very well. read more

I did a little shopping at Tanger during the holiday season, my first time doing that. It was really crowded, but only in certain stores. I had a good time, my favorite store was the Kitchen Store, they have some of everything in that store. I bought an Anchor Hocking 4 cup glass measuring cup on sale for $5 and was able to find a cake tester and some very nice spatula. The only downside to this is, I wish it had a food court. If you love to shop, stop by Tanger Outlet. read more

Good bargains. Easy to get to off I-85 . Polo store had the best deals. Also a nice variety of different retail outlets.

It's a small outlet compared to other Tanger locations I've visited. Went on a girls trip seeking a specific item from the Coach store. We visited a few other stores and left. I'm not saying it's a bust. It's a viable shopping option for a quick shopping trip. Augusta doesn't have an outlet mall but if I had to choose, I'd take the drive to Pooler instead. read more

We like coming here. It's easy to park in front of your favorite store since all store fronts face the parking lot. There are a wide variety of stores available and you can normally find some good coupons to save even more money. There are a handful of stores that I never go in but there are enough that I like to keep me coming back. read more

I don't love outlet shopping but this Tanger location is a standout. It is always clean and there are always people tidying up the restrooms and pruning the planters, etc. It has a few key places I like and I can get in and out very quickly. read more

Like the convenience to the Highway. Great stop between Greenville, SC and Atlanta, GA.

Some of these stores suck, and some are great. The good thing is that everything is all in one place, so you should be able to come here, get some deals, and find whatever it is that your heart desires. The H&M, I will say, was stupidly awful. There was nothing there that was appealing to me or my friend, and H&M used to be a go-to place for us to get clothes. Not anymore. Now it seems like they're basically American Apparel 2.0. The Ann Taylor was great. I got some verrrrry nice dress pants there, for only $40.00 a pair. I ended up dropping the majority of my money at The Loft since their top selection was off the charts. Right down the street from these outlets there are about 50 different places that you can get a bite to eat. Seriously, almost any chain restaurant you want is probably a stone's throw away. If you have a few hours to spend going through these stores, you'll probably walk away satisfied. read more

I love Tanger outlets I've never really been interested in outlets but this one is amazing

A super Tanger outlet mall, along I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte. Well worth the stop to save a few bucks and do some cheaper shopping. Outlets here for Levi's, Haggar, Reebok, Under Armor and more. The mall is neatly laid out in a big circle and while it's tempting to park at one end or the other, I would really recommend being as central as possible as you're going to be making repeated trips from the shops to put stuff in your car. Tip: Make sure it's out of sight! I didn't have nearly as much time as I wanted, so it was only a quick peek and perhaps I'll come back later. read more

This outlet is pretty okay. There are perks and cons about this place. Perks: *The layout is in a rectangular shape so you can pretty much stand in one corner and see almost all stores without having to walk around searching for the store or directory. *Because of the above, you can pretty much walk under shade and visit each store if you walk around the perimeter of the center. *This is the only outlet I'm aware of (and is in the north Georgia area) that has A&F and Hollister. Cons: *There aren't many name brand stores here. *No food court. Overall, this outlet center isn't too bad. Although I feel like the selection here is limited compared to the same stores at the other outlet (Dawsonville), the selection isn't horrible. Gas is definitely cheap here so fill the car up before heading home. :) read more

Awesome outlets... great deals.... We were supposed to spend a few hours over here but actually spent about 6 hours or so over here.. Initially I was not planning of buying anything major but ended buying enough to fit half of my SUV trunk... Ended spending more than 500$ bucks on this shopping spree... Lee was having a great sale going on on Jeans.. They had Jeans for 12 - 20$ which was normally 40$... I was searching for jeans for some time and knew the price was a steal as nowhere had I seen less than 35$. I ended up buying about 10 pairs.. :-) The Fossil showroom was also great.. we ended buying 2 watches for a good deal.. We also got some stuff from Le Gourmet Chef... got some deals for my wife at the Levis Store and Calvin Klein also :-) They have a good selection of brands.. Most of the kid stores had good deals going on.. Since the shape of the mall was like a big rectangular box we did not miss any shop..as in normal malls where you have to take a look at the directory to know where you are. We just took one big round... Lot of parking available.. read more

Good selection of stores nothing much you can really ask from a outlet mall. I mean they have bathrooms located at good parts of the mall for easy access they have a food court and the stores haves clothes. What more do you want? Oh the parking is lot paved and around the mall is filled with places to eat. If you come on any holiday its super packed. read more

LIMITED CHOICES UNLESS YOU ARE A DUDE! I am accustomed to shopping at the Dawsonville outlet stores which are very close to my home. However, as I was traveling along 85 North I decided that I would stop here for some cool weather gear. Unfortunately, there is not much happening here. While they had several stores, nothing really met my needs. The nicer stores (Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic) were great if you are a man because I found the selections for women sorely lacking when it came to sizes and quality. In general, the stores for women just did not have quality items. You could settle for young and cheap or mature and matronly. When it came to fall basics, (Coach and Fossil) fell short. They did have a nice selection of bags and accessories but fell short when it came to the basic black bag with black hardware. If you have kids, you my be interested in Carters, Jamboree, Osh Kosh and Justice. They have a well stocked Wilson's Leather store that is perfect if you are looking for a nice jacket for a male or female. Just don't think about purchasing a bag woman's bag because they are NOT leather. My favorite part of the outlet was the lounge area that had massage chairs, vending service, immaculate bathrooms and a telly for viewing. My husband and I enjoyed walking the entire perimeter of the mall because it was a beautiful day and such a nice walk. Please know that there is no food court at this outlet center but you do have vendor snacks and drinks and an American Cookie shop. read more

I stopped by this outlet on my way back from Charlotte NC and I was excited to do some shopping. These are a bit smaller than the Dawsonville location and they didn't have a Nine West, Aldo, or Wilson's Leather the main stores I look for in an outlet mall. I was a bit disappointed to say the least. read more

Since I really like the North Georgia Premium Outlets, I never found the need or desire to check out any of the Tanger Factory Outlet Centers. Recently, I finally went to the Tanger Outlets in Commerce with some friends (who originally wanted to make a daytrip to Asheville, NC!) on a Saturday morning. What was supposed to be a "quick" stop ended up becoming a few hours. =) As others have already stated, there aren't nearly as many stores here as the North Georgia Premium Outlets. They also don't have some of my favorite stores, including Ann Taylor and Express. Then again, I'm not sure if Express has factory stores... My friends and I checked out Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic Factory Store, Calvin Klein, Coach Factory Store, GUESS Factory Store, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store. It was cool that Coach was handing out coupons to get an additional 30% off of their sale prices, and although I am searching for a new purse, I didn't find anything that I liked. Although I didn't end up buying anything, my friends left the Tanger Outlets happy with their purchases. Overall, the Tanger Factory Outlet Center in Commerce gets 3 stars for being a decent outlet mall with a variety of stores. If you're planning to just "stop by" (is that even possible?) at a few stores, Tanger Outlets is good because there is plenty of parking available and it's not crowded at all. However, I strongly prefer and would recommend the North Georgia Premium Outlets for anyone who wants to do some serious outlet shopping. [Review 243 of 366] read more

This review is specifically for The Banana Republic Outlet store in regards to an employee I worked with, Chris Sneed. (sorry if i mis-spelled his name!) He was absolutely delightful to work with. He helped me at the checkout-line and had a very pleasant demeanor. He did not mind running to the back of the store to check on a t-shirt I wanted (which I know is a pain in the rear!). He was friendly, welcoming and was even so kind as to give me a nice coupon that they had. I will come back to this store and give my money-he made me feel welcome and like he appreciated my business. I have been in customer service for a long time and can appreciate exemplary service when I receive it! I hope he gets rewarded for his excellent service- Banana is lucky to have him! Lastly, banana always has classic styles and I was able to pick up a gorgeous navy dress, some basic tee's and a fun scarf. I am already looking forward to my next trip back there! read more
