Manchester Designer Outlets, Manchester

These outlets really seem to be struggling to keep stores in business. Unfortunately, many shops were empty. I have not been to these outlets in many years and it was sad to see this. Stores that were there did have good deals and we did make some purchases at good prices.

Nice place to walk around during foliage season but very high end shopping & prices to match.

Beautiful artwork, visited during open studio weekend. Was a bit disappointed that the artists were not there to discuss their work, however.

I've been coming here for quite a long time. Its a little sad to see some of the better known outlets gone. New Balance, Kate Spade and Johnson and Murphy have all gone. To my knowledge the spaces they occupied have not been re-let. The driveway that borders the Ralph Lauren is pretty beat up and really could stand to be repaved. And many of the properties could use a painting. It gives a general feel of decline. That's very sad and I hope it will change over time. As to the stores themselves there are some excellent deals to be had. Spend some time and your efforts may be rewarded.

Lots of empty stores, lots. What seems strange is all the ...rotting wood, old, and in need of a major make over. If it’s not pretty, people will not get out of the car.
