Tanger Outlet – Gonzales

In general I like the variety of stores and I’ve shopped at this outlet for many years. I live in the area. It’s not as big as several outlet malls I’ve visited in other states. In past few years they built more buildings that used up parking spaces. At holiday times parking can get filled. The one entrance is close to the exit from the highway so traffic jams up sometimes. Otherwise nice encounters with different store staff. Bathrooms are staggered not too far from each other. Could have more food choices. But again it’s not a very big mall.

If you asked me my preference of going to the regular mall or the outlet mall I would quickly tell you I much rather go to the outlet mall. The Tanger Outlets have sooooo many stores, I mean they have a huge amount of specialty stores. I love the fact of ample parking, most days you can park right by the store you want to go to and just walk right in, versus circling the mall parking lot and getting a parking space close to outer space. Another plus of the outlet mall is in sure you noticed the constantly have great deals and discount sales events going on. I mean to me it seems cheaper than the regular mall and they always have sales going on, always. The outlet mall seems easier to navigate and you can see exactly where you want to go, and get in and out in a fraction of the time it takes at the regular mall. I love the concept of going in, grabbing what I need in ease, calling it a day, then heading over to Starbucks for a frappé before heading out.

Tanger Outlets seem to be a chain across the country. I have visited Tanger Outlets from Oregon to Florida, and they are all different in some ways, yet the same in others. For the most part, they have some upscale stores (Ann Taylor Loft, Coach) to kitchen wares to shoes to children’s clothing. This particular Outlet mall does have several food options in the same parking lot, which is not always the case. Tanger Outlets do not seem to have the typical experience of stores offering the previous seasons goods at a discounted price that other outlet stores have. Shopping during the week is my preferred time as there doesn’t seem to be as many people. The parking lot is large, but the way the stores are arranged leads to some areas of the parking lot being more full than others. They do have a coupon book for members.
The main star for me is the openness of the strip mall, as I dislike being in a standard mall with the closed in feeling. And its nice to see a variety of stores in one area that are upscale.

Just like all the Tanger Outlets, there’s some stores that have great deals and make you wonder why you ever stepped foot into anything other than the outlet version and then there are stores whose prices are so ridiculously high that you forget you’re even in an outlet.
This is about a 45 minute drive for me so it’s definitely a shopping day that I «save up» for monetarily and time wise. I do most of my shopping at The Loft, UA (they always have excellent specials running), Banana Republic, Nine West, Gap, and Ann Taylor. I LOVE the Van Heusen store especially because you cannot order any women’s apparel from their website.
The only reason I don’t give them a 5 star rating is because the savings aren’t so great to make me exclusively shop here. Overall, you can make a nice day out of shopping at these outlets and eating at the nearby restaurants.

So me, my sister and mom all decided to go get a bite to eat after a stressful day of shopping. My sister and I decided to order nachos with chicken and guacamole, which is understandably extra. So, the total cost was $ 10. My mom’s food came and went and in total we waited atlas 40 minutes for the nachos. Our waiter didn’t even seem to notice that our food was taking forever, I actually started to wonder if she ever put in the order. Finally, our nachos came. It was literally about 10 chips with melted cheese on top with guacamole and sour cream in the middle. Now, when I saw this, I had to make sure I wasn’t crazy. I asked my mom, «when you order nachos don’t you usually expect a pile of chips» and she agreed with me. We were all just so confused. Did they run out of chips, so I asked the waiter about the nachos and she assured us that this is how they are prepared. Honestly, the few chips is not what bothered, I just feel so cheated out of $ 10. I could have gone to Chipotle and got a whole burrito with chicken and guac for that price.

I love this outlet mall. Is it the best in the country? Of course not but it’s a pretty good to have in the area. I love how it’s also constantly expanding. I have been coming here for years on top of years and I’ve seen so much progress!
There’s a pretty good selection of stores here although in my opinion, I feel like it’s better for shopping for kids. Any time it’s time to restock my kid’s clothing supply this is one of the first places I like to go. Many different stores to choose from all in one area. The only thing I wish would be that there were more food areas in the actual strip of stores. The only one currently is Subway. Me not being a huge fan of Subway doesn’t make me too happy about that. It would be great to stop and grab a bite to eat while on my shopping mission.

Went to the banana republic here and got SO much for such a great price. 40% off one day sale and St. Patrick’s day extra discount-​so glad I stopped! Super nice employees, and good selection.

On our way back from New Orleans, Wayne and his people stopped here. I got out to stretch my legs and browse the shops.
All the stores were well kept and had their deals.

Bathrooms were clean, tissue stocked and handsoap filled. I visited 3 stores. Old Navy is my favorite store. However, the 1 store associate did not utilize all customer service skills. She was suppose to try and apply all coupons, whether in store or online coupons, to my purchase. She didn’t.

Terrible WiFi. Cannot connect to use their app. Hence no map or access to stores websites

Yes, please. I’m a sucker for sales and my Tanger member coupon book and coupons from the mail.
Ann Taylor Loft, ALL the shoe stores, Maidenform, Vanity Fair, Coach, and the kitchen store are just a couple of my favorites. Oh, I can’t forget Wilson Leather! They always have great deals and I usually get presents for people here when I get the chance. Worth the drive from NOLA.

It’s close to home and lot more inexpensive than Mall of Louisiana. Hate that Body Central is no longer there. Would love to see Buckle come.

I love this outlet mall. Always very well kept and the staff is always friendly. I typically shop here atleast once a week and I have never left disappointed.

Love this mall. The layout is like a village and it’s really cute. Incredible selection of stores.

This outlet has a lot of stores to choose from. If you are looking for children clothing I would recommend coming here. The only thing that I don’t like is that they don’t have any places to eat except Subway and the restaurants on the outside of the strip like chili’s. I usually come to this outlet every 2 to 3 months. They have coupons from time to time that are mailed to you.

This outlet mall has gotten better over the years. We really enjoy going to Brooks Brothers, Ann Taylor Loft, JCrew, Coach, Nike Store, just to name a few. I’ve gotten a few good deals from this outlet mall so make sure to check it out!

Tanger Outlets are such a let down. You’re better off just going to the mall because you’re more than likely going to pay the same price there as here. You may catch a day with a big sale, but hey, like I said, just go to the mall, they have big sales, too.
Granted, I have not been into every, single store here, but I’ve been to a bunch. If I find myself in Baton Rouge, I typically stop on my way home just for the hell of it. However, the last few times it has flat out made me mad that I even bothered because I just felt like a sucker. I’ve been outlet shopping and this ain’t it.
If you just want to go shopping, go to Tangers. It’s not bad. However, if you want to go shopping for deals, do not go to Tangers. Because those are hard to come by.

Although I am not a big shopper and I despise the mall, I have to say I enjoy a few of my favorite shops here. I am a big Ann Taylor fan and can always find good bargains since our seasons tend to overlap forever into the next season. Since they have opened the newest section, including Talbots, J Crew, Brooks Bros I find myself frequenting it more than I ever have. And now they have the Great American Cookie Co which was a brilliant addition because that’s my all time favorite treat while shopping. Hey since I hate shopping so much I have to find something enjoyable to reward myself with and this always does the trick :)
I do not care for the way the layout is designed of the overall shopping center, Foley Al is much better plan and I enjoy hanging out there as opposed to here where I find what I need then leaving due to lack of any common ground. And I hate the way the doors are designed to open directly into the walkway, so you have to be careful every time you approach a door not to be broadsided from someone exiting the store. But I am fortunate that I live a short distance so that makes it even better for me.
I have found some decent bargains at the Coach store since the Coach store will send items that haven’t sold to the outlet, but the majority of the items are made strictly for the outlets. I find this with most of the stores so the heavy bargain hunters will not like it for this reason. The malls and their sales will have much better deals. Gonzales sales tax is a bit lower than Baton Rouge’s so you do save a little bit in that area.
If you like them on Facebook and sign up for their specials, they do send coupons and added specials directly to your phone.

This is labeled as an outlet mall but I think it is hard to find good deals here. An outlet mall’s entire selling point is getting designer brands at discounted prices. Tanger has some good stores like Coach, Kenneth Cole, Talbots, Brooks Brothers, Nine West, and J. Crew. The prices at these stores are usually about the same as at their other locations or only discounted around 20%.
The only dining option in the mall is a Subway. The others (Chili’s, Cracker Barrel, and Wendy’s) are situated around the perimeter of the actual mall.
This is a decent shopping destination but don’t expect to find amazing bargains here.

I love these outlet stores!
It’s basically one huge strip mall. I have no idea if this is how other outlets are, as I have never been to any other ones, but that’s the way it is here.
There are a lot of stores and it can be a bit overwhelming. The ones that I am always sure to check out: Coach, Old Navy (which seems to have WAY cuter things than the one at the mall), Body Factory, Nine West and White House/​Black Market. Trust me when I say that there are a TON of stores and they cover everyone from kids to women to men.
I usually like to go during the week, when I can. Over the weekend it can get pretty insane.
