Great selection of stores at this local outlet mall. They have a large variety of shops so it…read morereally suits everyone's need. The walk path as many others have referenced are covered, which makes it nice when it's a very hot day. Also, the paths are so wide that you don't feel like you are crowded on top of one another. There are maps throughout so you can grab one easily versus trying to wing it. I also appreciate that they have a food court and various ice cream and coffee shops so if you need a quick bite it is easily accessible to you. Found parking to be easy to navigate and there are several different sections and lots. I didn't find a ton of discounts for reduced prices compared to what I would have expected for an outlet, but it's still fun to kill time when you are looking for something other than the beach to do. Who doesn't love retail therapy?

When I am visiting my family down South in Myrtle Beach, SC my father and I always find the need to…read morevisit the Tanger Outlets for one reason or another. It's usually for sneakers and while my Dad leans on New Balance of late, I've been hooked on Asics for the past few years and that leads me to one of the issues I encountered on this visit. Asics had closed their outlet store a few weeks prior to my paying the family a visit. Sure Pop found something he liked at NB but I was off my plan and needed to figure this out before we headed home. Now its important to know that there are so many shops of all different variety here at the Tanger outlet but I do not advise wandering around aimlessly to find them and instead grabbing one of the maps that are readily available and using it tactically. It's South Carolina after all and can be very very hot at times. I'd suggest that you arrive with a bottle of water to keep you hydrated and maybe a handerchief to dob the sweat off your brow. Oh yeah, also wear a hat, you can thank me later. Outside of the sneaker shops, my favorite stops are the entertainment shops, the places where one can find action figures, pops, and assorted t-shirts with pop culture characters or music icons. There are a number of snack stands and also little jewelry kiosks if you are looking for that kind of stuff. I recall a couple of refreshment stops like Ben and Jerry's but the others elude me as I cobble all of this together. You can hit their website and peruse and like I suggested, go in with a plan first and then noodle about. An important change I noticed this time around was a business office which offered some benches in air-conditioning and bathrooms for visitors to use. There are also a few vending machines with soft drinks, snacks and water, the latter being a very important need while shopping. There was a complimentary WiFi detected which I never mind having since it made check ins easier. That's all I've got on this one and can say that you will likely find yourself in the place for a couple of hours so do mark down where you parked since their lot is massive. Oh yeah and for those curious about the kicks. I decided on a couple of pair of Skechers, a brand I have not really owned many of but these were comfortable and was happy to give them a try. I walk quite a bit in my Big Apple Metropolis and need comfortable sneakers for that. Happy Shopping and remember....bring water :)
