The department stores are also nice; Belk even sells Charles Tyrwhitt shirts, for example, and Dillard's is very nice, with a nice-looking store. Plus it has a Cheesecake Factory and an Apple store. So it's certainly better than other malls in the Upstate. I prefer downtown (it's a nicer ambiance, with some nicer stores and a bigger mix of things to do), but I can't criticize Haywood; it does a good job.

We never fail to find good sales here - regardless of when we visit--and we like that the outlet is so close to the downtown area. The only store I feel is missing is Eddie Bauer. All of our other favorites, however, are here. And don't miss out on the LOFT store, which is located on the right at the main entrance. Don't miss a stop here if you're visiting BR or Boone!

I was excited to find out they had a post office here with a self serve machine. They don't have them at any post office near where we live. So we stopped by to see. Now I know where it is. The door is open on the outside not inside access on Sundays. We went and walked around a couple of stores fast there was hardly any customers. At least I know some place to go if I need to mail any packages while in that area. Post office was a big place for being inside a mall. Other than that no stores I'd go back for.

Review for Charlotte Premium Outlets…read more After relocating to Charlotte from the San Francisco Bay Area, I've kept my same philosophy about shopping: retail prices are optional if you're willing to do a little homework. I'm always looking for quality and value without paying unnecessary markups, and this outlet center has been a very reliable place to find both. I needed professional clothing, shoes, and luggage for work, so I made the drive out here--and I found everything I needed in one trip. One of my best purchases was a beautiful piece of luggage from Travelpro at a great price. Many of the stores also offer additional discounts if you sign up for their rewards programs, which can make the savings even better. Stores I frequent most: * Banana Republic * J.Crew * Ann Taylor * LOFT * Saks Off 5th * Old Navy (very large location with great basics) * Le Creuset -- always fun to browse, even if just window shopping If you have the time to look carefully and shop strategically, you can really find high-quality items here at excellent prices. My personal shopping strategy: * I avoid weekends whenever possible * I park near the Saks entrance, especially along the back row where it's easier to remember where you parked * I shop during off-hours for a calmer, more efficient experience Parking overall is plentiful, and the layout is easy to navigate once you learn your preferred entry point. Another thing I appreciate is the atmosphere. In my experience, the staff across stores have been knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. The overall vibe feels practical and approachable--people are there to shop, not to show off. There are also plenty of restaurants and fast-casual options nearby, so it can easily become a full outing. If you're planning a larger shopping trip, using store hold or will-call services can be a smart way to keep your purchases secure while you continue browsing. As someone who pays attention to value and cost of living, I've found shopping in North Carolina--and the Southeast in general--to be refreshingly affordable compared to the West Coast. That difference alone makes places like this especially worthwhile. Bottom line: Easy parking, strong value, and a wide selection of reliable brands. If you shop strategically and avoid peak times, this outlet center can be a very productive and enjoyable place to find quality items at fair prices.
