Outlet Malls used to get a bad rap back in "my" day, which was 1980s and 1990s. During that time, outlets were seen as the no-man's-land of bad fashion (in the 80s? How can that be true?). At outlet malls, you'd get the rare opportunity to buy leftover fashions from several years ago in brands you never heard of. The best part is that prices were rock-bottom cheap.
Things changed in the late 90s and early part of this decade for our friendly regional outlet mall. The proliferation of huge higher-end outlet malls with premium brands began. In Texas, we currently have premium outlet malls in San Marcos, Round Rock, and more recently, Houston. These larger outdoor malls are more aesthetically pleasing, have more established brands, and are a good draw to any city since they are a destination site.
