Tanger Outlets Commerce - Where Reviewers Are Many, But Enforcement Is... Selective…read more 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.

Remaining chains include stores such as Spencer Gifts, and the overall physical condition of the mall is rough. Anderson deserves better. For Upstate malls, I'd put this one behind Westgate and definitely behind Haywood. It's above the mall that used to be in Easley, though, if that helps. Dillard's is a nice store, though.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!…read more Lots of nostalgic items here, including an eating area that is a super cool replica of the country diners of old as well as vintage Coke signs, vending machines and coolers! They also have local knick-knacks and old school candies such as slap-sticks, candy dots on wax paper, and squirrel nut zippers. I really freaked out when I spotted the gum cigarettes I used to pretend smoke as kid while Jamarcus had to have those old school big red wax lips. The owner (Gladys) was a real sweetheart and welcomed us to come back anytime. We sat on the front porch eating our candy and just enjoying our day of hiking local waterfalls. Mountain Junction General Store is a cool stop on the way to Highlands, SC. We had a great time and will be stopping here more often when traveling in the area. Be sure to also get a cup of delicious boiled peanuts from next door @ Victory Garden Produce. 2017/101

Fortunately when we were out…read more looking at scenery from the Sky Valley Overlook and Mud Creek falls, some of us had to go to the restroom, and Mountain Junction was the first place we stopped. This place is a little building filled with history, from old soda machines to malt/milk shake making displays, and old school candy (um, can you say pop rocks, wax lips and cigarette gum...that blows out candy smoke when you blow on it. YES!) In addition to the nostalgia you'll no doubt get...especially if you were around in the 80s, there's actual snacks and sodas too, and the mentioned restroom in this General purpose store. There are several aisles of preservatives, groceries and such, like Apple butter, or chips, and staff here not only are nice, but happily take a minute to talk to you about everything they have on hand! Located at the intersection of Old Mud Creek Road and Dillard road, pretty much right at the GA/NC line, You can't miss Mountain Junction with the big water wheel front and center. Parking is gravel and grass, but no worries because there's a decent amount of room for space, and there's a little produce stand right next door that sells fresh veggies if you want them. I like that we stopped here, because i've passed it once before, and realized that decision was a mistake, and i'm telling you if you pass it by without at least taking a minute to walk down memory lane, you'll think it it's a mistake too.

He had just crossed one year old and we just had to go shopping for him! We were going to do it in advance but another option was to find a spot on the way. This outlet place was about 1-1.5 hours out of the way but very doable. It worked out great! We found a baby store, loaded up on baby clothes and toys. We were there around 3-5 in the afternoon. It was an easy in-easy out. The place has so much parking. The layout is a bit weird. Instead of being circular or squared off like most of these places... it seemed like a long line of stores on each side. Not a huge deal but it did seem like more walking than what most of these places provide. They have all the typical stores. We looked around some but were just trying to make it to our destination so we didn't stick around too long.

Good location right off the highway with lots of other retail and restaurants all around it. I like the way it's laid out. Pretty much just like city blocks. Up one street and down the next with many designers stores for the young and older. I thought the food court was a little small and lacking some nicer restaurants. But plenty of restaurants less than 2 minutes away. Always clean inside and out. They seem to take a lot of pride in the appearance of the mall. Definitely one to keep on your list to try. You can hit lots of stores very quickly.
