Gaffney Premium Outlets

I love this outlet! So pretty and clean. Each store we went to was very helpful and welcoming. The bath and body works manager even had my son excited about hand sanitizers lol. I spend a day here any time we’re in town!

Lots of high end stores. Shucks no time to stop and shop. J Crew, Eddie Bauer, Ann Taylor, Chico’s, Pottery Barn and more. Gaffney SC. Onward we go.

Gaffney is on the lower end of the Premium outlet family and is a smaller centre that claims to have 75 stores but I question that when visiting. I’ve visited here 6 — 7 times since 2007 and it is definitely a hit or miss type shopping experience for me. Sometimes I find some good items. On this trip I did not buy anything as I didn’t see anything to my liking and the deals were not there!
For me the key shops here are Nike, Banana Republic, J Crew, Polo, Coach, Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer. You must look closely as the deals are not the best compared to other Premium outlet centres. I hope this place stays around however it does look like it’s seen better days and my guess is it’s 50 – 50 if it will be here for the long run!
If Premium outlet mall management is reading this they could really do a number improving the food court and offerings. Really it’s poor food at best. I ate at the Asian place and I’m not a picky eater (look at all my generous 4 star reviews) but it was pretty bad! If the name on the outside says Premium outlet you should strive for a Premium food court to compliment the supposed «Premium» outlet mall shopping experience!

I enjoy shopping at the Gaffney outlet. I am a big fan of Coach and the Gap outlets. The center is clean with descent bathrooms. The food court is terrible though. There is a Starbucks close by.

I came by on a Sunday at noon. There were plenty of cars but nothing was open. I walked around for a while and eventually saw that everyone was in the food court. The food court opens at noon, and the mall doesn’t open till 1:30. No clue why, nor were there hours posted anywhere except the food court.

Love this place — would give it five stars but the hours are a little weird. The prices can be just okay to really good. Search for those clearance racks at the back of the stores. Yes, I know I’m too old to shop at Pac Sun but every once in a while I can snag some Bullhead jeans for $ 5-​$ 10. Journey’s, Gap, Bose, Children’s Place, Coach. Plan on spending at least half a day. Not a lot to eat nearby (there’s a food court, but why risk it?), so you’ll probably have to recharge at Starbuck’s on the other side of the highway. For people with kids, they have a jungle gym/​sandbox (with an italian ice stand cleverly and conveniently located next to it).

Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors Outlets all in one set of buildings… I can do that!
The Coach outlet always has amazing deals. They practically give those things away.
I love the Kate Spade store even though the deals are less impressive — the styles are really classic — not tied to any season — and they are great quality. So cute!
I love Michael Kors — not so much his brand, but him personally — he cracks me up!!! He is so funny, but Michael, why do you hate discounts? His outlet stores are always around 20% off (ho hum, not impressed)
The Bath & Body Works outlet was actually a great find here — I love their Stress Free Collection and the Lavendar pillow mist. yay for sweet smelling soaps 3 for 10
I do love a deal. You will find them here.

Decent place to stop by if you are in the area. Store selection is decent, but not as good as a place like Tanger. Overall, place is decent and not as busy as other places. Be warned, some of the prices can be a bit higher than retail stores «sale» prices. Stop and take a look around, you might find a good deal!

This outlet is nice, it had alot of the stores I wanted but I give it a 4 because it wasn’t as big as i’m used to. Some of the stores are small. The sales were quite good tho!

Had everything we were looking for. Will return

I think these are very typical outlets where you find items at a reduce price but not amazing deals unless you search hard through clearance and have coupons. It’s like any store where sometimes you get the greatest steals but at least your are always going to get a slight discount from regular prices.
Parking is great and there is almost always no issues finding a spot. There are a few restraurants near by but not the seclection one might think.

While visiting my bestie, we headed about an hour out of Charlotte to go do some outlet shopping. She said that it’s definitely gotten better since she was there last.
There is plenty of parking. It’s a convenient location, right off the freeway. There are a few buildings with plenty of stores. My gauge is usually — if it has a Coach and a Banana Republic — it usually has a good mix of stores. And this one did.
There were a lot of places we didn’t stop in since we were interested, but we did stop by Coach, Banana Republic, Gap, Carters, Osh Kosh b’Gosh, Ann Taylor, Loft, The Cosmetics Company, Pottery Barn outlet, and Nine West.
We did go the monday after Thanksgiving, so there were some awesome sales and not too much of a crowd. It was rather empty which was nice. We didn’t have to deal with the craziness the weekend would have brought.

Gaffney Premium Outlets is conveniently located along the I-​85 corridor in South Carolina between Charlotte, NC and Greenville, SC. It’s about 45 to 60 minutes away from each of those two cities, though I don’t see any reason why someone from Charlotte would drive here considering Charlotte has Concord Mills. I guess these outlets are designed more for Greenville and Spartanburg residents.
Gaffney Premium Outlets are just one of the many «Premium Outlets» owned and operated by Simon Malls. Metro Atlanta’s North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville, GA is an example of another one. Gaffney Premium Outlets are the only Premium Outlets in the state of South Carolina.
I stopped by here over the weekend to check out some Memorial Day sales. These outlets have some of my favorite brands (Polo Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers). There’s a food court and several restaurants and gas stations nearby. Be sure to check out the outlets’ web site (
) for store listings, hours, and news on sales and special promotions going on at all the stores. If you sign up for their «VIP Club,» you can get even more discounts.

Not a bad outlet mall.

It is what it is.
I would say more but places like this suck the life out of me.

Gaffney hangout place 3.
Too hot to shop here in an outdoor outlet during the summer. Thank goodness for AC’s inside. I dont remember anything being super cheap, because I cant rememeber buying anything except some mittens that were $ 5.

Welcome to the Gaffney Outlet Mall, where you’ll find deals. Or you won’t. One thing to be aware of is that the prices here aren’t always cheaper than the what you might experience at the regular store. Mrs. K. is a big fan of the Coach store, where she’s scored a few excellent deals on purses and other ‘wrist candy.’
About an hour south of Charlotte, you can’t miss it. Look for the water tower that’s made to look like a giant peach. Or a fat girl’s behind, depending on your perspective.
I agree with Nick on the weather checking — this is an outdoor shopping mail. That said, it is at least covered so you are out of the rain or snow, if it’s not too windy.
Tons of parking, though it does get very busy during the Christmas shopping season. You might have to –gasp!- walk a short bit if you get tired of circling the lot looking for open spaces. Clever people with their SUV’s have been known to park on the grass and I’ve not seen them ticketed, though you just never know.
Several food options, though not many. I’d recommend takng a short drive (less than 5 minutes) and hit one of the nearby restaurants if you want something a little healthier.
Warning: make sure that your bags of goodies are out of sight in your car. Just because it’s miles away from the big city, it does not mean that there aren’t people looking to take your stuff.

This is a good drive from the Charlotte area so I’d suggest making this a whole day trip. While only an hour or so away, it’s still big enough to take up quite a bit of your day.
This is an outlet mall, so all you’re going to find are outlet stores… obviously. Some of the stores I’ve been to really do have some good deals, such as the Polo store where you can find some really good deals. Most of the stores are like this, so I’d suggest bringing the credit card because you’ll find a lot of deals you won’t pass up throughout the place.
You can grab a bite to eat here as well, with plenty of options in & around the outlet mall. Remember that it’s an outside mall, so you’ll want to watch the weather before you take the trip down there. Make it a day trip & you’ll be surprised at some of the deals you’ll find.
