Grove City Premium Outlets

While I hate to say it, a lot of malls are going under. Cranberry Mall in Seneca, Butler Mall, Pittsburgh mills, Century III, Clarion Mall, and probably a few others as well. But grove city outlets seems to be going strong still. There are still a lot of stores in business, busses coming in every weekend, and a family friendly area. Overall, I’ve never left the place disappointed as a customer.

Love the outlets but minus 4 stars at the fact that they allow people to smoke. Especially around all thee children, including my 7 month old. Gross.

A great little outlet mall an hour and half from me in cleveland. The closest J crew factory around and they always have really good deals. Always look forward to making the trip once a year or so!

This is one of the nicest outlets I have been too! There’s so many stores to shop at! It can get overwhelming!
Parking could be a hassle, but today was pretty easy finding a spot! We opted to park on the back lot, closer to the highway and it seemed like there were more spots available here.
There are a lot of name brand stores here where you can find a lot of great deals! However that’s the thing, being patient and going from store to store to find the right deals! There are stores where things might be more compared to other stores with similar products but different brands!
When it gets really crowded the stores can be annoying with the amount of rude people in there! Or the parents that are too busy shopping and not paying attention to their kids! That’s the biggest gripe I have when they have big sales like they did this weekend! On the plus side, we did get away with a lot of nice things without hurting the wallet!
The food court area was crazy busy! People everywhere with long lines! We didn’t eat anything here, but simply went in to use the restrooms! Now the restrooms weren’t the cleanest but with the amount of people here, what can you do?
We are fans of the outlets because you can definitely find awesome deals! But 3 stars Bc the crowds can be annoying! Another reason why is because not every store has good deals!

«If you’re looking for a place to stop by, keep driving ’cause this place ain’t it!»
Yes, if you’re Canadian, please just keep driving. Nothing like having 10% the population of Toronto in your town on weekends.

Worth the trip… Many stores are true outlets and have excellent prices. Good variety of stores. Overall layout and parking are the major drawbacks. Don’t forget to get your coupon book at the food court, always extra savings. Not sure if you have to be a AAA member or not.

If you go to the outlet mall don’t shop at Home & Cook. We bought 2 crockpots there for $ 175. One didn’t work and the other, the crock got hair line cracks after 3 times using it. I went back to the store with in 1 week and said I wanted my money back. They said no you have to get it from the factory. They would not honor there 30 day money back guarantee. The factory said they fix defects they don’t give money back. That’s up to the store.
DON’T SHOP HERE!!!

Your standard outlet mall, a large variety of stores with great deals across the board! Excellent deals at most of the stores (I got my new favorite popcorn maker for a mere $ 20) thanks to the Unilocal discount!
By checking into the Grove City Premium Outlets you get a free coupon booklet (a $ 5 value) with a ton of additional discounts throughout the mall. For each store you use this additional discount they’ll check off that it’s been used, so make sure everyone you’re with checks in as well!
Stores include the standard you’ll see at most outlet malls, some of my favorites at this location include Ann Taylor, The Loft, Aerie, Nike, Under Armour, Gap, Columbia, J. Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, Burton Snowboards, Bath & Body Works, Famous Footwear, Nine West, The North Face, Calvin Klein and Banana Republic.

Easy to get to and good selection of stores. My favorite is Vera Bradley because their prices are terrific. I also love Addidas. And Columbia is always great too. Big and spread out, the outlets are big and require lots of walking so be prepared. All in all good selection and just a suggestion, try to hit sale seasons because the sales are always good.

More like a 4.5. Living in PA, we are lucky to not have taxes on clothes and shoes. That’s why you’ll see a lot of Canadians, New Yorkers, people from all places shopping here. Very busy place for holidays esp black friday.
Keep in mind that some stores aren’t actually Factory/​Outlet price like Charlotte Russe or Old Navy mainly because their prices are already marked down. I will say that sometimes you can get old navy stuff like shorts for $ 3.
I like that they have a US postal service, and the food court and playground are in the middle section. It’s a big place, so I can see people spending a day there. Easily accessible; right off 79. If you’re not from Pittsburgh, try the Primanti Bros.
I like their stores here than other outlets also because they have harry and david, pepperidge farm, and vera bradley, which are hard to find stand alone stores. Lots of shops for kids, too. They added burton, peace love and little doughnuts, chocolate moonshine, bobba, etc. in the last year.

A quiet little town with an outlet mall you normally see in a tourist area. Nice layout and good selection of stores. Good way to spend a weekend afternooon.

Nothing ‘Premium’ or ‘Outlet’ about Grove City!
Complex itself is outdated (‘90s?) and the layout is horrible. Stores are arrange in rows and you have to walk deep into the row to actually see the directory of stores in that immediate area. Lots of walking with zero payoff!
No good stores and prices are more expensive than in Vaughan Mills/​Toronto Premium Outlets — especially considering the poor exchange rate.
If you’re looking for a place to stop by, keep driving ’cause this place ain’t it!
Tip: Check the store directory online before you stop by. I didn’t think the selection was good at all. Mostly sporty stores that didn’t have any deal, some housewares stores, and random candy stores that I’ve never heard of.

This mall sucks.
Discounts can be had for sure. Call first and make sure your favorite store hasn’t shut down. They’re dropping like flies.
The girl with the coupons from «Flamers» will just about BUMRUSH you. She gives out coupons like giving out coupons is her fucking job. Which it is. And opening on Thanksgiving is simply a dick move. All the freaky people out in their GD PJ’s to get their free crap.
Restrooms reeked.

I’ve never been a big outlet shopping fan growing up, but I seriously love this place. Grove City Outlets is about a 30-​minute drive from my house, so I usually come by every couple months.
Must-​stop stores for me include J. Crew, Pepperidge Farm and Vera Bradley.
I’m typically a coupon cutter and a thrift store shopper, so it’s refreshing to buy brand new things at J. Crew and Vera Bradley at the fraction of the listed prices. It’s like splurging without the guilt. The holidays usually yield steeper discounts. Over Labor Day weekend, J. Crew had 50 percent off store wide. At Vera Bradley, all items were 50 percent plus an additional 20 percent off. Pepperidge Farm usually has red lined goldfish crackers and loaves of bread for a buck or less.
My sister and I got brand name purses for $ 20 and $ 30, respectively. And I bought four packages of goldfish crackers for $ 3. Keep in mind that Pennsylvania does not tax clothing or food, so that’s an extra savings bonus if you’re shopping from out of state.
Usually post-​Christmas discounts are similar. I like to go during the week, when things aren’t as busy. Weekends can get pretty chaotic, particularly during back-​to-​school and the holiday seasons.
There are enough stores here where there’s something for everyone. Other popular stops include American Eagle, Nike, North Face, Lucky Brand, Under Armour and Nine West. There’s a Starbucks, too, for when you need that caffeine-​fueled second wind.

Loft, Banana Republic, Nine West, Fossil… I could go on and on about all the stores available here! Yes, you have to be a smart shopper. Just because it is at the outlets doesn’t always mean it is a good deal. That being said, there are some great deals!
Tips to make it a good shopping trip… Print out a map of the outlet and check out where your favorite stores are. It is an outside mall so trying to either plan your route or picking a good weather day can make or break the trip.
The only outlet store I miss here is a Kate Spade outlet. The food court is lacking in really any interesting options, so I usually check out one of the surrounding restaurants (Primanti’s anyone?).
Overall, this outlet has a large variety of great shopping options, is clean, easy to get to, and is a can’t miss opportunity for good deals and expanding your wardrobe!

Good shopping outlet with a nice variety of stores. The regular prices of the outlet are pretty good but I’ve found that the end or beginning of the season sales are the bomb-​diggidy… I mean greatester… I mean my wallet suffers when the wife suggests to take a ride to the Outlets!

I drove over to Grove City from Youngstown to go to the Samsonite outlet since we are in need of new luggage. It was my first visit to the mall but I had heard it was «over the top» so I had high expectations for my visit! Unfortunately, it proved to be a disappointing trip.
First I hit the Samsonite store only to find prices nearly double what I could get at Penney’s or Macy’s and when I inquired as to whether they had two-​wheel carryons rather than four, the guy working there could not have been more condescending and told me that in all the years they had been open they had never had a complaint about the 4 wheel bags (they do not fit very well in overheads on small planes).
From there I went to Eddie Bauer, Skechers and Vanity Fair. I did buy something at EB and am used to their prices being pretty close to normal retail so was not surprised to see this was the case. Skechers store was «meh» and the shoes I recently purchased at an online store (think «Z») were the same prices as I had paid. Vanity Fair had some good deals as they always do but by the time I got done there I was pretty discouraged and headed home without stopping anywhere else as I had planned as it did not seem like I was finding anything I could not find elsewhere. The place was packed and given its layout, it is not easy to go from store to store if you are looking for specific items.
If you are in the area it is worth a stop but don’t make a special trip, there are better places to shop then Grove City.

The Outlets at Grove City is almost always a place we stop to check out when on our way down to Pittsburgh. It’s conveniently located at exit 113 off I-​79 just south of the I-​80 interchange. This facility is also in Mercer county so not being in Allegheny county, the taxes on things that are taxable are not subject to the extra 1% Allegheny county tax.
All clothes are tax free anyway in PA which makes this a very good place to shop over say western NY. This mall is absolutely huge. Only 3 times I have walked the entire mall. Most of the time we do not bother with most of the southern part of the mall, only the north side and middle. Where you turn left into the mall itself off Exit 113 just past the Primanti Bros and Eat n Park is the busiest parking area I’ve found. I’m talking about the area just near the Coach store.
You can if this area is packed and it usually is especially on long weekends is to drive all the way to the end and make a left and park on the side of the mall that faces I-​79 since there is much more parking there. Since it’s a little harder to get to yes there is more spaces available there as opposed to the initial parking near Coach on the west side of the mall in general.
This mall has many outlet stores for many popular retail stores. My favorites are Nike, Under Armor and Polo Ralph Lauren. Since the property is very spaced apart, walking the entire mall from on end to the other could be quite the task. You may even consider parking in one area and driving to the other, yes it’s that big.
There is no real sit down restaurant centrally located in the mall. They have a food court with mostly fast food, a place for coffee etc and restrooms etc. There are soda machines spaced out between each section every so often as well.
Their complete directory can be found here:
Bring comfortable walking shoes to do this place or simply buy them there…
If it’s a long weekend especially a Canadian holiday long weekend or Black Friday… this place gets absolutely ridiculous.

On the way from Toronto to Pittsburgh and a great pitstop for some outlet shopping (who doesn’t like some cray cray discounts!) and some good eats (a.k.a Primanti Bros).
Grove City prices don’t disappoint — I found some great deals at Calvin Klein, Van Heusen and Reebok. It doesn’t have some of the brands I expect to see at premium outlets, though — Kate Spade, Michael Kors, etc.
ANKIE TIP: Wear walking shoes. It’s a lot of walking! And if you’re going to do some serious shopping, Grove City is a whole-​day agenda.

We all know that ‘outlet’ does not really apply — prices are not reduced and in many of the stores inventory is not limited.
But here’s what I love about the Grove City Outlets:
1) It’s a great day out with the Hubby.
2) Kitchen Gadget stores — love them
3) Underwear Stores — need them
5) Near Rachel’s Roadhouse; Iron Bridge and Log Cabin Inn
6) Strolling through nearby Volant is always fun
So, while it looks like we don’t really spend much time at the Outlets, we wouldn’t be able to make a day of it without the Outlets.
