WESLEY CHAPEL (FOX 13) - Retail workers and construction crews filled the walkways throughout Tampa Premium Outlets on Thursday. The rush is on to prepare the new outdoor mall in Pasco County for thousands of shoppers who will fill its stores in one week.
The new shopping center off State Road 56 in Wesley Chapel is set to open on Oct. 29, just before the holiday shopping season kicks into high gear.
According to Simon Property Group, the owner of the mall, shoppers will find 103 retailers, partly comprised of 37 name brand and sporting good stores, 21 shoes stores and 15 specialty-item stores.
Nine buildings will comprise the mall, connected by covered walkways. There will be an indoor food court and a pirate-themed playground for kids.
According to mall officials, the outlet will mainly offer high-end name brands at discounted prices, from 25 to 75% off.
Shoppers can expect to find many grand opening deals beginning Thursday, Oct. 29, through the weekend.
