Updated store list: Tanger Outlets Savannah opens in Pooler on April 16
Lowcountry favorites Spartina 449 and Palmetto Moon will be featured at a new shopping center near Savannah.
Tanger Outlets Savannah -- at 200 Tanger Outlet Boulevard in Pooler, Ga. -- will open at 10 a.m. April 16 with a ribbon-cutting celebration, according to a news release.
Grand opening weekend will be April 16-19.
The center boasts 85 designer outlet stores, many of which already call Tanger Outlet Centers 1 and 2 in Bluffton home.
But there will be some differences that make the drive down Interstate 95 worth it.
Special events are planned all weekend at the new center, including a workshop and meet-and-greet with Jonathan and Drew Scott, HGTV's "Property Brothers," according to the release. The workshop is set for noon on April 16 and features design-on-a-budget advice from the dynamic real estate duo.
There's also a chance to win a $10,000 closet makeover. If all that wasn't enought, there will be live music and entertainment all weekend.
Tanger Outlets Savannah general manager Laura Simmons or Tanger Outlets corporate representatives declined comment on the opening this week.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
Tanger Outlets Savannah features well-known retailers such as the Coach, Nike Factory Store and Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store found at Tanger Outlets Center 1 and 2 in Bluffton.
But there are at least 29 retailers that aren't found at the Bluffton locations.
Here are some of them:
WOMEN'S APPAREL: Christopher & Banks, Dressbarn, Express Factory Outlet, Maurices, Swim 'n' Sport and plus-size clothing company Torrid.
FOR THE GUYS: Jos. A. Bank.
YOUNGER SHOPPERS: Aeropostale, Charlotte Russe Outlet, Hartstrings Kids Apparel, Hot Topic, Papaya Clothing and Zumiez.
SHOE LOVERS: Aldo, athletic footwear brand Asics, Converse, G.H. Bass & Co. -- makers of the original penny loafter, according to its website -- and Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse.
ODDS AND ENDS: Daufuskie Island-inspired accessory retailer Spartina 449, Palmetto Moon, Man Cave, quilted bag maker Vera Bradley, sports hat store Lids, luggage retailer Tumi, Rooster Sunglass, Sunglass Warehouse, Fragrance Outlet, Lee Spa Nails and Xcell Wireless.
For those who'd rather eat than shop, there's the 1950s-style hamburger restaurant Johnny Rockets. Those with a taste for the sweet or salty can go to the Great American Cookies/Pretzelmaker. Local offerings include Savannah-based Salt Table, The Peanut Shop, Ms. Polly's Cake Giants and Savannah's Candy Kitchen (pralines, anyone?).
