Orlando Premium Outlets

Description:

• This 440,000-square-foot outlet center offers shoppers the atmosphere of a beautiful outdoor shopping mall filled with landscaping and natural lighting. It's inviting instead of outlet-ish. It's billed as Orlando's only upscale outlet and is by far the best choice for a great shopping experience in Orlando. It currently has 110 tenants, including Disney outlets, Coach, Kenneth Cole, Nike, Polo/Ralph Lauren, Timberland, and Tommy Hilfiger. Others include DKNY, Fendi, Hugo Boss, Nautica, Salvatore Ferragamo. Some of the best buys are at Banana Republic, and the selection at all the stores is fabulous. A major expansion that began in 2008 will add several more designer outlets to the already impressive lineup of stores. In addition, the center now offers a "Personal Stylist Service" package -- but at a price tag of between $500 and $750, this one's for serious shoppers only. Set just between S.R. 535 and I-Drive, it's easily accessible from either location.
