Petaluma Village Premium Outlets — Attraction in Petaluma

Mixed reviews on this place. They had a few of the stores I prefer to shop at, but not alot of stores overall. One of the best things at an outlet is to get deals and try new places you may not normally shop. That opportunity was not there. I liked the sports memorabilia store and the chocolate store. Found some cool shoes for my son at the Nike outlet and a bag for me at coach, so overall (as usual) spent more than I should but am very happy with what I purchased. Honestly this place look like most malls. More empty spots than stores. I can say the bathrooms were clean and didn't smell like a public restroom. The staff in each store I entered were friendly a greeted me with energy (which I lime very much). Some stores were almost too clean to shop, hated to mess up their folds and displays, looking for my size. If you shop at any of these stores, it's a great place to visit, not alot of traffic but I was there on a weekday late afternoon. Not sure if traffic picks up on weekends, but I had a great experience getting full attention and chatting with the salespeople. Ended up spending much more time in each store just having random conversations. Made light the end of my workday. Since I don't live in the area, it was nice putstop before my 2-3 hr...

I was surprised at the overgrowth around the main entrance to the outlets and the parking area, which has wheelchair accessible parking spaces. There were hardly any cars there and only a few people that were there sitting at the tables next to a small taco truck that had no line of people waiting to order. I didnt see any people at all actually. There were no people going from store to store, no noise from children or babies, it had a ghost town feeling like the entire place had been abandoned many many years ago. I have to tell you I thought it was all closed down all the way leading up to a shoe store that is wheelchair accessible, However, once inside the store it is not wheelchair friendly, BUT the ladies working there were absolutely great! They were friendly and informative. The atmosphere was casual and stress free. There might not have been life outside but there was life going on in that store! While the selection of shoes was many there weren't many cute shoes for women. The experience was a good one and I'm glad I went there, even if I was just pushing the door to see if the place was open. It was...

Great outlet mall with fantabulous retail chain representation. I highly recommend the coach and the Banana Republic stores. On Saturdays the Adidas store has major discounts on current model shoes. And you can’t beat the Nike outlet, as far as quality Nike clothing and shoes. They also have bags, balls, socks, and my wife exclusively shops there for her yoga and running gear! They have a giant bathroom in the center of the mall, and the vans store is also notable for their discounts and shoe strings. It’s hard to find good shoe strings anyway these days. The food is scarce, outside of a cart here or there and every now and again. The only establishment with any semblance of food is a candy store, which I forget the name of. But the parking is awesome and it’s notheavily crowded even during the holidays when I’ve shopped there. Highly recommend this outlet for quality clothing and footwear at a major discount. Better discount than you’d get even from online shopping,...
