Express Factory Outlet

This used to be a great place to go to get decent work clothing. This is supposed to be a «last chance» Express so you get good deals. The prices were no different than what you find in a regular outlet or even the regular store. Its not worth taking the trip to visit this store.

I’m a serious Express gal, so imagine my excitement when I saw this outlet store pop up in the Premium outlet center… HELL YEAH!!!
Since I am such a regular Express shopper (it’s a habit, I know, I know) I do tend to find styles from previous seasons in here, but always at a heck of a deal.
This past visit, I had delayed my Christmas shopping (I’d read an interesting article about Black Friday deals and when the actual best time to shop for the holidays: spoiler alert: it’s just before Christmas) and EVERYTHING was on sale. I bought a ton of things at 50% off and walked out with:
A pair of jeans, 3 plain shirts, a sweater and a dress shirt, for around $ 150 bucks!
I love it that my Express Next points can be used at the outlet, as well as my Express credit card as well. (I did have a coupon I’d forgotten in the car… but oh well, guess I will save that for the after holiday sales. when you can really clean up with 70% off.)
Great place to snag some basics and store is usually clean and pretty stocked.

Used to be an Express Last Hoorah store with ultra clearance prices. Now it’s just a normal factory outlet. Prices are still better than the standard retail stores, but it just makes me sad that the Last Hoorah store is gone. I think I didn’t realize the difference until they had transitioned to the factory outlet store. :(
Layout of the store is good, it flows well. The styles are very current. The employees are never that friendly, they never greet me when I go in and never ask if I need help. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any one of them smile. It would hurt to feel a little more welcome in the store, however, I don’t exactly shop there for the customer service.
