My husband and I live in Sarasota so it’s a quick drive to the outlets. We enjoy under armor and Columbia. There is a good selection here of stores and prices are good. Parking is easy. There is also a food court if you need a bite to eat.

The number of shops and bargains are declining. It used to be a must on visits to the area ,but now its a if we are passing and its raining we will take a look.

Very spacious and clean area. It is great to do shopping here: always plenty of amazing deals. Various shops for everyone and easy to park.

The mall is well taken care off. It offers a nice variety of shop. Very few empty store fronts. The side walk are cover so offers some protection from the weather. If you enjoy shopping this is a nice place to go.
