Labor Day Shopping…Orlando Premium Outlets
Traditionally Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. The holiday is seen as a day of rest or of parades but more recently it has also become known as a great time to go shopping and secure some bargains.
With that in mind, I decided to get out early and take a look at one of the outlet malls closest to our vacation rental homes. Located just 10 to 15 minutes drive from most of our vacation homes is the Orlando Premium Outlets. It is situated about a mile away from the Downtown Disney area and is always one of the most popular shopping venues in Orlando.
It lays claim to having the highest sales per square foot of any of the Premium Outlets located around the world and in retail that’s a very big deal!
There are 150 designer and name brand outlet stores located in the Mediterranean style village and you’ll find all the well known brand names here such as :
Ann Taylor, Barney’s New York Outlet, Burberry, Coach, Diesel, Fendi, Gap, Giorgio Armani, Kenneth Cole, Lacoste, MaxMara, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, Theory, Tommy Hilfinger and many others. There’s also a good sized food hall for those hungry moments and there’s plenty to do for young and old alike.
Stores like Disney’s Character Premiere, Carter’s and Strasburg Children cater for the kids while adults will enjoy wandering the aisles with stores carrying designer fashions, sportswear, jewlery, accessories, gifts and specialty items. The Outlets also have a VIP club so be sure to check that out at this link … VIP
Finally, here’s a short video I filmed recently to give you a flavor…
