Attention All Outlet Shoppers – We Now Have One Here
Good bye long hauls to Woodbury Common in New York, Merrimack in New Hampshire, and Kittery in Maine. We now have our very own Premium Outlet Mall in Mirabel, only about a half hour drive from downtown.
The outlet center will open on Thursday, October 30th so expect promotions and parties for the first 4 days. There is room for 84 shops but only 70 will be open at first. In a salute to our miserable weather the outdoor walks will all be covered.
What we will have, unlike our US neighbors, is a large Hudson’s Bay outlet, the second in Canada. Montrealers will finally be able to buy fashions (discounted!) from The Room, Toronto’s luxury designer department. We’ll also get our first taste of Max Mara (coat maven), Desigual and Famous Footwear. Our very own Rudsak will be there along with Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap and Bench. I would say though, that the warehouse outlet sales I mention here on my shlog probably have much better prices for Bench.
Many of you might not realize that a lot of outlet store merchandise is produced just for the outlet markets. Only a fraction of the products are usually liquidated stock from their regular stores. Don’t expect Walmart prices everywhere there. Max Mara coats are still near $1000, even discounted. For the real bargains,wait for the semi-annual clearance sales when items can be up to 90% off.
You no longer have to cross the border to enjoy outlet shopping and drive back wearing 3 layers of clothing. Shop right here in Quebec and keep the money here.
