Boise Factory Outlet

It really is unfortunate that such an opportunity for a truly great outlet shopping center is going to waste. Usually once or twice a year, I make the drive out to the outlet’s just in case something new and exciting may have happened. And sadly I have yet to be surprised and instead am disappointed to find fewer and fewer stores open. Honestly, at this point I don’t even understand how the businesses that are there can generate enough traffic to stay open.
I have been to several outlet malls in California, with lots of great stores to chose from. It was actually a fun Saturday activity that could take a good part of the day to complete. So I am really just dumbfounded as to why such an opportunity sits 90% vacant.
Location perhaps? Maybe… I do personally find the location to be a bit out of the way.
No advertising? I have never seen any. But who could afford to advertise a mall with only a hand full of vendors? Most people who visit, stumble upon it by accident while driving out to Lucky Peak.
I truly do hope that someone finds a way to revive, what I think could be an awesome place to shop.

Very disappointed. Not many selections. The Levi’s outlet was great and has amazing staff but other places are not worth the stop. I hope Boise gets with it and updates this place. So much lost potential.

Too many vacant store fronts; a big sign that says food court, but it only has a pizza place and a Blimpies. Blimpies was the highlight of the visit…

It’s hard to miss this outlet mall but you should miss it. There is a large domed tower with the words– Boise Factory Outlet. Just minutes from Micron. However, this place is going downhill. Alot of low end shops here. The only nice story is probably Reebok and Eddie Bauer. I had lunch in the food court and Blimpie’s was not bad. Actually, it had a nice ice skating rink so that’s pretty much what to do here.

Deals are good but very little stores. Can play football in the parking lot. Its very sad.
