It was so delightful visiting this outlet center. I am from Miami and this town is farm country so the shops were refreshing. This mall offers a nice array for everyone. It is worth visiting; I actually visited it twice. There is a movie theater which I didn't visit but that is quite convenient.

We happened to see this outlet centre travelling on Highway 99 and decided to circle back to try it out. The area itself is part of the Joaquin Valley and is a great stopping off point on the way to/from Yosemite or Sequoia National Parks. Nearby buildings seem to be fairly new - this outlet is no exception.

The complex is roughly U shaped - plenty of parking with exterior access to stores and designed in a Mediterranean style with palms and fountains. A few internal corridors have restrooms, phones and ATMs. It will take you a couple of hours at least for the 50 stores if you intend going into every one.

No guesses as to what some of the name brands are with reasonable reductions – Nike, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Gap, Loft, Levi and many more realistically priced stores like Van Heusen and Bass. Eating is somewhat limited with an ice cream shop, a Subway, a Cheese shop with Restaurant, a Chocolate and Pretzel shop.

We found a few quality bargains and spent around 90 mins without stopping to eat. There are a few nice hotels in the local area and this would help break up a long journey along Hwy 99. The outlets are a nice diversion but the weather would have some effect on how much time you can shop store to store outside. In our case it was extremely hot and the only relief was inside with the air con.

Enjoy your shopping!
