Vacaville Premium Outlets is one of those places we had driven past for years on trips north and…read moreback without ever stopping, even though we had heard plenty about it. We finally decided to make a dedicated shopping trip out of it, and I was honestly surprised by how large the outlet center is. There are well over a hundred stores, ranging from designer brands to more everyday retailers, so it's easy to spend an entire day there if you're not careful. We quickly realized it was best to focus on a handful of stores rather than trying to see everything. We ended up visiting places like Clarks, Adidas, Levi's, Banana Republic, and Gap. Every store we walked into had impressive sales for selected items or for everything in the store. Some of the prices were the best I had seen in a while. I walked away with two pairs of shoes and a pair of pants, though still nowhere near as much as my significant other bought! Overall, it turned into a fun and relaxing day. One helpful tip: it's an open-air outlet mall, so visiting on a nice day definitely makes the experience more enjoyable.

After I got tired, I realized I hadn't even covered half the center. Well, if you enjoy shopping, plan on a long day and you might wanna make a list of the stores that are of high interest. I don't think it's at all possible to visit every store in the center in one day. Overall, I like this outlet center a lot. It took a bit more travel time to get here, but certain stores are pretty unique. I inadvertently ended up at the far corner of the center, which sure made parking really easy.

Total Nostalgic. I remember back in the day we'd stop here every time we went to Grandma's it was…read morethe halfway point in our drive. I loved riding the hobby horses. I don't recall taking the train ride, but for only $5 it's a must do for kiddos these days. Cheaper than a trip to Disneyland. What I really recall is the giant gingerbread people they used to have in their bakery. My parents would never get me one, but every time I saw them the drool was on. They also had quick breads like zucchini bread and the such. I'm a sucker for zucchini breads and other quick breads. I went a few years back ready to get my ginger bread man and some quick bread and to my dismay they don't have any of that anymore. Being an adult now I was so ready to buy all those things my parents wouldn't buy me. Being an adult has those perks. Now the Nut Tree is a place made up of restaurants and some key stone stores such as Ultra and Old Navy. If you hunt around you can find Sees. I really wanted to go to Sees today, but we ran out of time to make the trek over there. We did have time to explore Kirkland. I've never been to a Kirkland before and it turned out to be a real fun store. They had a great deal on diffusers. 1/5 the price of the ones I saw in Fort Bragg. I found one that I LOVED the scent to in Fort Bragg, but couldn't rationalize spending the money on it. I almost got one of the cheaper ones at Kirkland, but resisted as I really didn't need to spend the money today. I need to save up for the Berry Festival in Woodland this weekend and I bought too much stuff in Fort Bragg this weekend. We did go to Fenton's and shared a cone of black cherry and loved every bite the last time we were at the Nut Tree. It's hard to resist a cone from Fenton's when you stop at the Nut Tree. They are located to the right of the big Nut Tree sign and next to the bathrooms that are on the Left. We walk by it all the time as we go to the bathroom for our potty stop. Just thinking about it I'm drooling. We also stopped buy Old Navy. They always have tons of cute tees for $10, which is a good deal in my book for new shits. They had a ton for cute skirts and dresses, but they weren't a style I'd wear so we walked out empty handed. That was our stop in the Nut Tree this time. It's always a solid rest break and potty stop on our way.

My sister has been looking for a pair of Hokas on sale and this was the second Rack location she tried. Unfortunately no luck here, but I tagged along and tried on some shoes. They have a very large selection of good designer shoes...the largest choice of Sam Edelman shoes I've seen in ages. The discounts are good, not great. I ended up choosing a pair of EVA Arizona Birkenstock sandals. At $54.95 they are $5 more than buying on Birkenstock direct website, so no savings especially as free membership allows you free shipping. However, I wasn't sure of my size for this brand so it was helpful to try several pairs out in person. The salespeople here were low key and helpful if asked for assistance. The store was large, cool, well lit and had a large selection. The store was larger than the ones I have gone to in Sacramento. I briefly looked at personal care items and they had a nice selection. Otherwise, we didn't have time to look at much else as we wanted to head home and beat the traffic. I am taking one star away for no discount on the shoes and the fact they when I got home I realized the security tag hadn't been removed at checkout . Fortunately my Dad had a bolt cutter and he took it off for me.

Pretty nice to have a cleaned up farmers market-ish brick and mortar. It's a little more expensive than your average supermarket and that may be because most things are your buzzwords: "organic" "vegan". Woo hoo. The Restoration Hardware and Williams-Sonoma outlets are fun once in a while. Don't need furniture as often as I'm wanting fruits and veggies though, so I'm here for Sprouts more often than not. Parking is plentiful and access to this shopping center is simple, right off the freeway. Just be careful to not get on 505 going back to Davis. It's a bit of a detour to get back.

Kudos to the tall guy that did that before leaving the store for the day. This store was pretty trashed on a busy Saturday. The clothes here are not very good. They are picked over and seemingly not of the highest quality but the home stuff , luggage, and accessories were pretty good. Shoes are hit & miss. There was a long check out line that you entered in a department and had no sight of the front. Understaffing is definitely an issue here. Despite the huge line there was one and then two cashiers but the supervisor was making price tags and cleaning up. My cashier was friendly. Don't buy too much, only what you can carry. Loss prevention allows no carts outside. All in all even with the long wait and having to pick through loads of merchandise they had what I wanted so I give it an ok. I would come back at a slower time next time and bring help to carry out my items

I walked in, and they had a holding pen for customers to wait for entrance. Not like "oh, we are so expensive" but more like you are all scum and we are checking you out to see if we are going to let you in. Look at the camera so we can get a GOOOOOODDDDD look at you. Then we let you in. I stood there dumbfounded. I have NEVER in my life walked into a store, been held to wait for entrance and then my image JUST taken. (not that some stores don't have camera's but I was stopped purposefully so they could get a shot of me.) I felt like I was being treated as a criminal. I turned and walked right out. I will NOT be treated like that by anyone especially a store where I intended to shop for a new wardrobe. Burlington you will never get a dime from me again. I do not give a fuck if you get robbed daily. You do not treat paying customers like they are criminals. There is such a thing as customer service; you all need to be looking into that. Done. Never a dime again.

This...is...one...of...those...days. I can't wait for the age when you get a Roz to help you like the one from Wild Robot, replacing people who hate their jobs/life. I came here looking for a little bag for my upcoming wedding, I was disappointed by the lack of help especially since I approached one of the staff asking if they had a certain bag on hand. No hello, no acknowledgement just a lackluster expression plastered on their face, hating their lives...Taelyr. While they reached out to whoever was working in the back for inventory, there was no follow up if they had a spare or not. I kept looking around the store seeing if there's another alternative and decided on something else that may fit my needs. No one came to help, the same girl I had approached earlier seemed like she had better things to do so I found another alternative bag and decided to pay. I left the store, re-examined the bag that she gave me that wasn't even the original one I chose, saw some gray and makeup marks and went back to the store fuming. "I want another bag, this one has marks,"I stated. She grabbed a wet cloth and quickly cleaned it in front of me, "I just cleaned it, do you still want a new bag?" I held the wet bag, glared at her and gave it back, "there's make up here too." I pointed out the bits of makeup smeared on the other side of the bag. "I want another bag." I repeated She called someone in the back who did a quick exchange and because they don't seem to care for quality, I decided to inspect the new bag that was just given to me. What I learned from this place : 1. Be careful of the slight of hand they did with switching items you choose to some other random bag. 2 . Mental note: I won't come back to this store, they lack integrity and think their customers have single digit IQs. 3.
