Lodi Stations Outlets

Great place to walk by a bunch of empty stores. Every time I come here I hope to see something new, but stores just keep leaving. Stick a fork in this one it’s done.

I remember how busy this place used to be when I was younger. It makes me sad that I see more empty stores. I also noticed that «Lodi Station Outlets» was also changing to «Ohio Station Outlets». Maybe whoever took it over has some plans for it! I hope so because I love this location! It has a handful of stores that SouthPark doesn’t have!

Great place! Never been to a bad store yet :) fave stores are yankee candle, aeropostale, kitchen collection and al the others are excellent

I came for the first time in many years with my family to ride the train to the pumpkin patch. The cost is $ 6 per person and includes a pumpkin, which is a decent deal considering the train itself is $ 4. The ‘pumpkin patch’ isn’t really a farm where pumpkins are grown. It’s just a bunch of pumpkins set in a field, so that was slightly disappointing. But my kids had a good time riding the train and running around through the Halloween decorations, so it was still a success overall. It was a bit far for us to drive, so I’m not sure we’d consider going back again next year.
We did eat in the food court and walk around the shops a bit, but that wasn’t really our reason for visiting. They also have some kind of Christmas train, and birthday program where the kid gets to sit up front.

We shopped here on Memorial Day weekend — my first time here in 5 years. Our main focus? The Under Armor outlet store. Our biggest disappointment? The Under Armor outlet store. Are these seriously discounted prices???
Our greatest treasure find? Bath and Body Works! Amazing deals here AND some discontinued items as well! Christopher and Banks also had really good deals. The Kitchen Collection was another favorite.
As posted in another review, there are quite a few empty store fronts, but the deals at the remaining stores are pretty good.
Although it’s a little out of the way, there are plenty of attractions further along 71. Visit Fin Feather and Fur, and Grandpa’s Cheese Barn afterwards.

This place is great to come and spend the day at… we buy lots of great things.
Lots of brand stores to choose from and great prices…

There is nothing left here. There is a ton of empty space… its kind of depressing. There are a couple of stores left– a gap, shoe store, Hanes and a couple of others. No food.
There is a fake little cutout town, I think it’s telling that the names on the building read «JAIL»…“UNDERTAKER”…what happened to the library? A school perhaps?

Definitely not the place it used to be, back 10 years ago when it was filled with a number of different stores, Lodi Outlets is still worth the visit.
You are able to choose from a number of stores including: American Eagle, Under Armor, Adidas, Rack Room Shoes, Polo Ralph Lauren, Yankee Candle Co, Tommy Hilfiger, Corelle, Eddie Bauer, Gap, Bath and Body Works and many more! You can find a number of excellent deals here, it’s worth the stop if close by or driving past on 71. Admittingly, it’s in the middle of no where and you have to walk outside (even during the cold and snowy winter or blazing hot summer). In some cases, Lodi Outlets is worth the visit just because it doesn’t get as many visitors so you can find better deals than at the same store in a different outlet.
I make sure to stop here every time I visit my family for value shopping.

I have always like Lodi even though it seems like more and more shops are struggling to stay open. My favorite is the Gap Outlet. I almost always find jeans or a sweater at an affordable price. Bath and Body Works has an outlet store and there are some other speciality stores for athletic clothing, children’s clothes, etc. It’s a good pitstop if you’re driving on 71, but I wouldn’t drive out of my way for it.

I stopped at the outlet mall for some deals on Black Friday, and I was super surprised. First of all, there was barely even a crowd here. I was also excited to see that they had added an Under Armour store as well as a Coach store since the last time that I was there. Their Bath and Body Works store always has amazing deals, and they did not disappoint on Black Friday! They handed out $ 15 gift certificates for every $ 150 that you spent over Black Friday. The only complaint that I have is their food court. I stopped at Subway for a drink in the middle of my shopping trip, and they were going to sell me a completely frozen bottle of water. This outlet mall has improved some over the past year (just adding Coach and Under Armour will hopefully bring in more shoppers and more good stores). Overall, I enjoyed my experience, so I will definitely be coming back to visit some of my favorite stores.

The Shopping Experience Review
First Impression (***): what does an outlet mall let out?
Actual Impression (***): I get tired of looking at marked up junk, so I eat a marked up bourbon chicken plate.
Lasting impression (****): good for ideas to buy stuff online at a better price.

A good place for shopping but it is a bit out of the way. It is a shame that about a third of the retail spaces here are empty. It is too big and spread out.
The thing to keep in mind here these are outlet stores. The merchandise you find here is made for and priced for this type of location. You are not finding merchandise from a mall store being sent here. You sometimes will find seconds. You will not always find the same selections you get in the main stores and department stores.
People don’t seem to realize what it takes to move merchandise around and the expense. A store in a mall will rather reduces the prices on their old stock rather than shipping it to a outlet store. They also give item to charity that can’t be sold anymore but still can be used.
Another thing here don’t expect a large amount of staff in the stores. They keep that to a minimum.
You can find good prices but not everything is a bargain. The prices you see are what it sells for the outlet store. What you need to do is get a flyer from the customer service counter near the food court. Many of the stores offer a discount if you get a savings card which is free.
Unless you have small children skip the train. All you are seeing is a ride around the shops basically advertising the stores. It is an outdoor plaza mall so keep that in mind for the weather. .
Eating choices are limited. There is only a few fast food food places you can find elsewhere. There is no sit down restaurant here. There is not much outside the location except a few fast food places. It is right next to I-​71 so there is easy access. You need a car to get here. The grounds could be a little cleaner.

My review is in regards to the food court. We stopped here hoping to have some options for food. Their food court is awful as they have a Chinese place that looked unappealing, a pizza place where the pizza looked like it was made in the morning and was dried out by evening, subway, and I think a coffee type place. The only good thing about his place is the men’s bathroom has a nice changing area for kids.
I have been here to shop before and I really don’t think they have that many good deals. My mom likes stopping her once in awhile. I won’t be stopping or planning to eat at this exit again.

This was a great stop on a week long vacation to break up the trip especially with kids. After reading the reviews I have to point out its an outlet mall guys get drug there and should hate it but I didn’t. I don’t care about anything but the food shops and while the food court was fairly empty wasn’t going to a mall to eat I tend to avoid food courts. The chocolate shop had some decent not over priced truffles and the train was awesome for the kids and me because I’m a guy who hates malls. Train was like 3.50 per person unlimited rides, overall a decent mall experience.

I don’t know why people keep complaining about this place… For its location, it’s a great place to go and bring your kids…

One of the least impressive outlet malls I’ve ever visited.
My friend got me hooked on outlet malls, and fortunately there are quite a few around me. The selection isn’t terrible. You have all your name brands and then some. It’s everything else that screams «avoid me at all costs».
The complex is not exactly the cleanest complex in the world. They don’t offer any recycling services, and the place looked like it was cleaned by a dog dragging his ass along the ground. With the exception of the «food court» — it’s possibly the worst food court in any outlet mall I’ve ever visited — the complex is entirely outdoors. One of the worst things about the Lodi area is the winter weather. Nobody wants to go shopping at an outlet mall when it’s 10 degrees outside and snowing.
Then there’s the train lane that circles the complex. This is the only thing to do within 30 minutes of Lodi, sadly. It is easily a tourist trap. If you have an kids, prepare to suffer 10 grueling minutes of overpriced hell. Even the conductor looked miserable.
I’m going to try and stay away from this place from now on. There’s so many better cheap options in NE Ohio.

The three stars are pretty much solely for the train. As far as outlet stores go, there’s not a huge selection here, and there were a lot of empty stores. Luckily this was only about a 20 minute ride down the highway for us, because had we traveled any farther I would have been pretty annoyed.
I don’t generally find outlet prices to be drastically cheaper than sales in the mall. The Reekbok outlets tend to have nice deals if you get more than one pair of shoes though, so my husband and I usually take advantage of those. Today we got buy one, get one free sneakers, so we were pretty happy with that. The rest of the sales we came across were just «meh»…nothing that was so cheap we just had to jump at it.
The train was great though – really gave our toddler something to look forward to while we drug him through the stores. Tickets were $ 3 each for adults (under 3 is free), and the ride was about 20 minutes long. It was quite enjoyable, and the conductor was really nice.
The food court was very disappointing. I should have packed a lunch. We ate at the pizza place and it was probably some of the most wretched food we’ve had in a while. Even in the area surrounding the outlet center, it didn’t seem like there was a decent place to eat – a couple of fast food places and a Bob Evans. They could really benefit from at least a Panera or a Chipotle or something.
I don’t think I’ll be chomping at the bit to go back… maybe the next time I need sneakers, but only because it’s not super far away.

Not bad for an outlet mall… the mid 20 something clothing shopping is a bit slim, but my boyfriend had a field day. I still don’t think the deals are toooo great for an outlet place but I haven’t been to many others so not much comparison here. I guess if there’s a store or two that interests you, it’s worth a shot going, I wouldn’t travel too far though.

Whoa, there a so many businesses missing now it is shocking. This place is not what it used to be. Are there deals to be had? Yes, but you have to know your prices to begin with or you’ll be paying average prices w/​o any savings. I did get a nice pair of Clark’s shoes for $ 32 and that is unheard of generally. They usually go for $ 90 or more. But beyond that, not too many deals worth the drive and time here. It is looking like a ghost town these days. (they lost Harry & Davids), and many others as well. It has plenty of shoe store options, but, that doesn’t really make this place worth the trip. The kitchenware stores don’t have anything at attractive prices at all, and they aren’t distinquishable from each other.
Aurora Farms is a bit better, not exceedingly so, but likely the preferred place to drive to. That town is also looking a bit «ghostly» these days.
No, I am afraid that Lodi’s Station Outlets time has passed. I won’t be surprised when I see this property empty and in the realtors «For Sale» listings.

I’m a fan of paying less than full price. Thus, this outlet makes me happy.
I’ve seen it transform from total crap, to eh, not bad. Especially with the addition of the train! Yep, there’s a choo-​choo that rides through the entire shopping center. I’m considering hopping on for a ride sometime — if I’m not over the weight limit. (Oh the fun we have in Ohio…)
Aside from the Gap, Ralph Lauren and Bath and Body Works stores, I don’t find much use in making a stop on my trip to and from Cleveland. But, there are quite a few more stores including Aeropostale, Black & Decker Outlet (yea, tools!), The Children’s Place, Vitamin World, among many others, that may interest you.
I’ve been to way better outlet shopping centers, but if you do your research to find out which stores are there, I think you’ll know exactly what to expect.
