I stopped by the tanger mall outlet stores yesterday and i guess because its so close to christmas that everybody is going down there to gatlinburg to see the christmas lights. That place was off the hook. It was crowded and i hate crowds. They were some stores that had lines outside and had a employee at the front door keeping anybody else from coming in the stores due to the stores being over crowded and has reached there occupancy max that they said told by the local fire marshall. That tells you how crowded that place was. Had two other friends down there this weekend and one of them was there friday and said it took him two hours to get through town. Wow. We went to do some christmas shopping and look at the Christmas lights. There is a really good view of gatlinburg if you take the bypass around gstlinburg well it circles around the top of the mountain and they hsve stop and site see spots and you get some really great views up there. I have posted below a couple pics of gatlinburg from the site see spots below. If you are going down to gatlinburg i would advise you to call the tourism office to see if there are any events or any special activities going on the times that you are wanting to visit because you may change your mind if theres a lot going on when you want to go. Ok i have posted the pics below.

Read moreI came to the Tanger Outlet in Pigeon Forge over the tax free weekend with my family. We shop here on average of about 7 times a year . I have to say myself and my wife were disappointed. First it wasn’t the traffic it’s Pigeon Forge after all it was the over all look of the property. First I have never seen the landscaping beds with so much trash in them . The next was the restrooms . I went into the bathroom at Vera it was trashed first toilet paper was all over the floor and there was a lot of water on the floor one soap container was out and there was no paper towels . This was around 2:30 in the afternoon because we had just had a late lunch at Junction 35 … Now to make it worse later that evening my wife went to Nike restroom where she walked in a couple of minutes later she came out into the hall and said she needed to go to a different restroom because the two stalls she checked that was going to use both had no toilet paper. As we were walking down the hall I stopped a worker there and tried to explain to her the women’s restroom needed checked she couldn’t understand and wanted me to talk to here phone so she could translate it. I’m not prejudice but as an owner of multiple vrob properties I can see where this would cause a problem with customers.This being said I just couldn’t believe how the standard I was accustomed to seeing just...
Read moreShopping at the Tanger Outlets feels less like a retail experience and more like an urban scavenger hunt designed by a sadistic mall architect. I’m convinced they didn’t build this place — they confiscated several unrelated shopping centers, scattered them across a concrete wasteland, and said, “Yeah, this looks fine.”
Trying to find a specific store here is like navigating a corn maze with no exit and a coupon expiring in 10 minutes. Stores are tucked into weird little corners, back alleys, and areas that defy the laws of conventional mall geometry. I passed the same Sunglass Hut three times and still couldn’t find the Nike outlet without pulling up a full-blown satellite map.
There’s no flow. No logic. Just clusters of stores slapped together like a toddler playing SimCity. One minute you’re outside Under Armour, and the next you’re staring into the void, wondering if Tommy Hilfiger ever existed or if it was just a mirage from heat exhaustion and broken dreams.
Want to “pop into a few stores”? Lol. You’ll get your steps in, lose your car twice, and end up rage-purchasing a pretzel just to feel something.
Unless you enjoy confusing layouts, sore feet, and yelling “Where even ARE we?” every 20 minutes, maybe stick to a regular mall. Or Amazon. Amazon never makes you walk past five Sunglass Huts to find the...
