Tips
Eating well on an outlet day
- Eat early. Food courts at outlet centers peak between 12:00 and 13:30, exactly when store staff are re-stocking clearance racks.
- Ask about dining offers at guest services — many centers bundle a food voucher into the VIP coupon booklet.
- Keep receipts together: some centers run spend-and-get promotions that include restaurant spend.
