Premium outlets are large shopping centers located in remote areas; e.g., in a middle of a desert. Many company stores claim to provide reduced prices on various close-out products - ranging from shoes, clothes, music CDs, etc. - by selling factory-direct to the customer. Premium outlets tend to be tourist-oriented.
The term PremiumOutlets and PremiumOutlet Shopping are registered trademarks of Chelsea Property Group (a subsidiary of Simon Property Group) and is used to denote its upscale outlet shopping centers.
These outlet centers typically have 70–120 stores and are comprised of retailers who are primarily manufacturers of designer apparel, shoes, sportswear, home furnishings, and specialty items that are sold direct to the public at substantial savings.
Outlet centers are located in the U.S. Japan and Mexico.
Other stores in outlet malls are operated by retailers selling returned goods and discontinued products, often at heavily reduced prices.
Therefore, factory outlets are usually located at least 20 kilometers outside of major cities, and consumers must account for gasoline costs and driving time when calculating their net savings.
