There are still some great deals here but just as the outlets in downtown Reading died and turned to dust this is going the same way. If you are local know what you want and can get there quick you will save a lot of money but with modern outlet malls all around it in, Lancaster, Hershey, The Poconos and... More

My family and I are are huge bargain shoppers, and we thrive on outlets when we're in need of clothing and items for our home. We've shopped at several outlet centers, including Tanger Outlets in multiple locations and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets. However, those other outlet centers can not compare to the bargains that can be found at the VF... More

My husband & I drove 2 hours this past weekend to check this "outlet village" out...if it weren't for the Dooney & Bourke outlet, it would've been a complete waste of my time....I hate to put so plainly, but in my opinion this outlet was a dump....The buildings look run down, there wasn't a good selection of stores/shops & the...

The historical aspect of this place (it being factories and turned into outlets) is interesting. The stores are okay but its nothing like a strip mall outlet. Would go back because we did find some good sales. More

This mall, in four or so converted factory buildings in located at 801 Hill Street in Reading. Be prepared this is not your updated and modern facilities. The buildings are narrow but long and they string stores one in front of the other so you may have quite a walk to get to your store. However, the sales can be... More

It's true the third floor which had an array of small stores like Woolrich and Nautica is mostly crap now. But Nautica closed it's outlets all over, as did LL Bean. It's the manufacturers. The Vanity Fair brand lingerie is still a deal, and the Lee brand jeans/khakis. It's all casual and sporty clothing. Too much sporty (team) clothing IMO.... More

The Reading outlets used to be real factory outlets, with seconds, irregulars and discontinued items at rock-bottom prices. Now, it's just like any other outlet. Basically, mostly first quality merchandise at slight discount (or worse, the items are overpriced to begin with and discounted to a normal retail). The prices are not as good as major department stores' sales and... More

Usually has a $10 off $100 coupon on their web site. With the decline in Reading and all of the upscale outlets going up in the surrounding suburbs and online shopping it really feels that VF is losing their appeal... I have bought some items that have had some quality issues in the Nautica line so not sure where they... More
