Barnes & Noble at The Grove
Frequent promotions in-mall, so the outlet gap narrows. On the same label, an outlet store normally sits 25-50% below the price you pay here.
What Barnes & Noble discounts in this center
Mid-market fashion is promotion-driven year round. There is almost always an extra-30%-off event running or about to run, which is why the outlet gap in this category is the narrowest on the site.

This store vs the outlet
The tactic that works here
Buy basics and kids' sizes in the mall store during a store-wide event rather than driving to an outlet — after tax the outlet rarely wins by enough to cover the trip.
Discount levels are an editorial guide to a brand's typical market position and the usual gap to its outlet stores — not a quote for any specific item. Outlet stock is normally previous season or made-for-outlet.

On a $200 Barnes & Noble item, the outlet store's usual 25-50% takes you to about $153.30 — a saving of roughly $65.70 after tax. Below that, price-check Amazon before you buy: if the same model is under $153.30 there, neither the mall nor the outlet is the cheaper option.
