I've always appreciated the idea of the Kittery Outlets, but the actual shopping experience has…read morebecome increasingly inconvenient. One of the biggest frustrations is the layout: instead of being able to stroll from store to store, you constantly have to get in and out of your car and drive from one shopping center to another. It really takes away from the enjoyment of outlet shopping and makes the whole day feel more like running errands than browsing. Another downside is the taxes. Whatever savings you think you're getting from outlet pricing quickly shrink once you see what you're paying in tax. It feels like a big chunk of the "discount" disappears at the register, which defeats the purpose of going to an outlet in the first place. Lastly, the number of vacant stores is hard to ignore. Whole sections look empty, and it gives the area a run-down feel. It also limits your options and makes the trip less worthwhile if the stores you came for simply aren't there anymore. Overall, the Kittery Outlets had potential, but the inconvenient layout, high taxes, and increasing number of vacant storefronts makes the experience far less appealing than it used to be.

There's even a children's play center that you pay for the day and you and your kid can come and go to take a break from shopping. There are multiple strip malls divided along a busy road but that's probably the only downside. My favorite feature? An actually very well set up nursing room (as in breastfeeding). Right next to the bathrooms but tucked further back down the hall so no one is walking by, window with darkened glass, a blind you can pull down, a LOCK on the door, comfortable seating, a TV and a changing table! I've been in a few of these nursing rooms since having my kids and this is the only one that I feel like actually provides what I need! So much credit to whoever set this up!

There were so many stores that had closed, and the first set of stores you see when you exit the highway is in the process of being demolished.

Lululemon outlet in Kittery, ME was one of the first outlet locations I visited and I remember the…read moredeals were amazing back then haha. It's located on Route 1, so pretty straight shot if you're coming from MA and there's lots of stores & yummy restaurants nearby. I usually find a lot of goodies whenever I go to the lululemon outlet stores but didn't end up finding anything here the day I visited. Pretty small store & has less inventory compared to other outlet stores... similar size to a smaller pop up store location.

Mens section is in the back but it's almost nonexistent. The staff was busy organizing and rehanging items people try on. Overall it was a bit chaotic but the selection wasn't great on this trip. Will pop in again to see if we can hit next time around but compared to the many other locations we frequent, it's alright.

The second of the outlets we visited while in the area. My wife and I both were in need of some…read moreshoes and I decided to check this place out due to the fact they do manufacture some of their products in the USA. While not everything they make is, some is better than some shoes companies that make everything elsewhere. Even better than just the USA is the fact some of that made in the USA is in our great home state of Maine! Workers greeted us upon walking in and a different friendly worker was walking around offering help/assistance to us and everyone else. Willing to grab or look for any sizes not on the floor. Top notch customer service by her! While I do wish the deal they were running was even better we did luck out with buy one get one 50%. In the end each of us buying a pair of shoes was a solid deal. As soon as my wife put on a couple different pairs she thought they were some of the most comfortable shoes she has had. This is very important as she is on her feet all day at work on concrete so needs quality shoes that are comfortable. Thankfully we both found great shoes here for a decent deal. If you are in Kittery or nearby and need new shoes add this to your list of places to check.

Obviously, you can't come here seeking out something specific, but it's a great little treasure hunt for foods and kitchen/home products as something might strike your fancy. The place was bustling, but the lines moved steadily. It's motivating to try some new things, so if you are at the outlets, make this a definite stop.

Perhaps, only if you're seeking the smallest game on a very short trip. Is there really such a thing ever as having TOO much? Perhaps, there is no such a thing if you're a "responsible" prepper or an avid enthusiast seeking to advance yourself to handle just about ANY situation thrown your way - including the apocalypse. I definitely do not believe there is such a thing as having too much. And I can bet on it that most of the people here today at Kittery Trading Post feel the same way. Yes, the prices are mostly MSRP and sometimes higher. Yes, you can most likely (99% of the time) get a better deal elsewhere (especially online). But where can you actually have the opportunity to TOUCH everything or be likely seduced to WANT more because you weren't aware that such an item even existed? Here, at KTP, that is exactly what happens. You think you have a particular item in mind? How about being thrown more options that most other stores even dream of carrying? Thought you liked something online? How about holding that item in person and deciding if it is the right fit for just a fraction more of the price (and avoid the need to make returns for the most part?) How about being swayed into another product because you "apparently" didn't research it enough to realize there are even BETTER options that fit your exact needs (or because it's more expensive and you can justify it in person, lol)? Kittery Trading Post is definitely one of my ultimate retail spots as an outdoor enthusiast and an avid prepper (for whatever possible events will ever unfold in my fantasies). And every time I'm here, I always leave with at least one new toy for the personal arsenal. Definitely love this place even if it's not exactly the best bang for the buck.
