Carolina Premium Outlets

I finally visited the Smithfield Carolina outlet stores today. I'm really not an outlet shopper at all but I heard this location had a variety of stores and brands I enjoy. I did not get a chance to visit every store while on a time limit but I am happy with what I spent within my budget for the quality of items I purchased. I enjoyed shopping at the Adidas store. They had a 60% off clearance sale and I was able to purchase 2 outfits for my daughter priced at $7.99 & 10.99 per piece. The selection was excellent and I saw some adorable IVY Park sneakers and boots by Beyoncé. Customer service was excellent. I also visited the Lane Bryant store to purchase undergarments. The customer service was impeccable and the store was well stocked compared to Raleigh. I was very happy with the sale items I purchased and will definitely return to visit the remainder of the stores.

This outlet mall could use a modern renovation so that is the only negative.

I had a great experience at Carolina Premium Outlet. However, I recommend going on a weekend during the holiday season. Two factors highly noted was Carolina Pottery had Senior Citizens 65+ entitled to a discount on Tuesday. There are quite a few stores that discounts for military persons showing their id and a symbol is displayed outside the store to inform them before entering. Great discounts but walk around and check out the prices before purchasing the first thing you see. Especially if you are trying to stretch your dollars which is not made out of rubber. I found my favorite store Woodbridge and went back the next day. The jogging pants are fleece line thick and very warm if you jog, or walk your dog early morning or late evenings.

Some stores have closed since last visit, probably due to COVID. There's still a good variety of shopping choices. I found as awesome store "Southern Attitude" what a great t-shirt store. And the ladies that work there are great!! Glad they have a website site however I would definitely drive there if I had to

The carnival was fun.. But it's the same thing every year.. About time they add something new... Kids still had fun
