Le Creuset

Went to the outlet Le creuset and was really surprised as the cookware was so expensive, in fact more expensive than France it would have been cheaper to fly to Paris for a day and buy it there, needless to say I went away empty handed,
Believe me I visit France often !!!

I went up to the Le Creuset Outlet to pick up a specific size of «French Oven» at my wife’s behest. I had a coupon for 40% off, and didn’t care what color I got. I told the sales lady what I wanted and she showed me the item with the best price in round, and the item with the best price in oval. The oval unit was an attractive «aubergine» (purple/​eggplant) color and was 50% off. Oh, well, my coupon was no good but I was happy to take 50% off instead of 40% off. I did ask if she’d give me 40% off the 50% off price, but that was no go. I didn’t really expect it, but it’s worth a try. Happy wife, happy life! I was in and out in five minutes, which is my kind of shopping unless motorcycles or musical instruments are involved.

While dreading the $ wasted on my milkshake from the Fudgery, I dropped in to check out their well-​marketed, solid, appealing rainbow colours in their display.
Some serious deals here, folks: 50% off, on their cast-​iron pans, so even at the new price of $ 75, you’re getting a lifetime warranty. Only drawback is they’re as heavy as a bag of nails, and will get fairly hot to handle.
Guess having them made in France does carry that aura of quality.
Friendly service, well organized and neat.
Located a few stores down from Starbucks.

Wow!
If you’re a Le Creuset fan, this may just be the place for you.
A ton of selection.
I cannot attest to the selection elsewhere in the USA, but for a Canadian coming into here, WOW.

Just bought a French Oven for a pretty good price because I bought it in a discontinued color. A 5.5 quart round French ovens (of their newest line) at «regular price» at department stores are usually in the $ 220-​$ 260 range. At the outlet, I was able to get one for $ 174 because I bought it in a discontinued color.
I suspect that you may be able to get a comparable price at department stores if you wait for a good sale, but I simply couldn’t wait and didn’t have my heart set on a specific color.
Also, the staff know their products and were super helpful! It was certainly a worth drive out here! (Also ended up purchasing other stuff).

I had a great experience here! The people were really helpful and guided me to the right product I needed. They even let us know about good deals on other colors. We left with great bargains on our items and would love to go back and add to the kitchen.
Some items are first quality, and they are still reduced from store prices (even if you went to non-​fancy discount stores). We got a second quality item that was still great looking. The lady actually helped us find one that had a pretty lid without any noticeable blemishes.
There was a wide selection of products – lots of colors, lots of items. There were exclusive colors that you wouldn’t see at certain stores. They also had items like trivets that you wouldn’t see at some places.
If you need le creuset items, look here first!

Located at the Seattle premium outlets, this is a wonderful place to buy quality kitchen wear. Keep in mind, this may not be the cheapest kitchen items you can purchase; however, if you want quality items that will stand up to use overtime, it is worth spending the extra money.
The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help. They answer your questions and provide recommendations in a fashion that is not pushy and more like they are helping a friend select the right item for them.
I was impressed that when I was looking for a pizza cooking sheet, the associate showed me what options she had available; however, when stated other uses I hoped for the product, she let me know that her product likely was not the best for my needs and recommend me where to purchase the item I wanted in the mall.
I did get an awesome new tea kettle though that was on sale for 30% off their normal price and about 50% off the cost of the same item at Williams Sonoma.
*Note that not everything at this store is at outlet pricing; however, keep in mind you are getting a huge line of products with knowledgeable staff from the company who makes the product, that is worth some money there*

If your looking into purchasing Le Creuset There products are great but there is some issues with their factory/​outlet stores. I highly recommend you think twice before purchasing a supposed good deal at this store. Thanks to my research beforehand on an item I realized there was no outlet/​factory store savings. I could purchase the same item at Sur La Table for the same exact price. The store literally is jacking up the supposed original prices to pretend there is some savings on an item.
The service at this store is really a hit and miss. The first day I went in I was helped out by a really nice young lady (with dark hair). I was looking at a set of dishes and she told me to first go home and measure my cupboards to see if they worked. She had warned me some people have had to return the dishes because of the size and that it’s best to double check first. I’m happy she suggested this because the dishes just would have barely fit in my cupboard. I would have been really disappointed if I had purchased them and then had to return the items.
When I went in today to look at the dishes again I was rudely treated by an elderly lady working. She literally barked at me after I made a comment about the prices of the dishes and comparing the price to the Le Creuset website and the Sur La Table price. She precedes to tell me Le Creuset’s MSRP price is much higher than $ 20 for the plate. The price on the website shows $ 20 from Le Creuset, so in my opinion that is the MSRP price since it does not show any discount.
The price on a dinner plate showed originally $ 28 and that the outlet store price was $ 20. No where is $ 28 listed as the original price on the Le Creuset website. I don’t see any savings when looking at the price on the Le Creuset website. I feel like I was only barked at by the women since I questioned the false pricing they do in order to look like an outlet store.
Truly do your homework first on a particular item to see if your saving money. If the store is a factory store it may be receiving second lot items or color batch problems. If I’m paying the same price for the same item that is sold elsewhere, I want something in decent condition that hasn’t been sitting out on the floor and isn’t considered a problem piece. If the plates had a discount on them compared to the Le Creuset website, I wouldn’t have had an issue with purchasing them. But it truly bugged me that the original price was jacked up by the store to pretend there was a savings.
Personally I will not plan another trip to this store after seeing how there is no discount on some of the items. For being an outlet/​factory store there should be some discount off of the price Le Creuset is selling it for! The only savings your able to get is with their buy more, save more, but in the long run it may not be worth it.

A fantastic selection! Oh I wish I had the money to purchase some Le Creuset. The sales prices at the outlet store are so good!
The people that work here are very helpful and friendly.
It’s worth the 45 minute drive and fighting the parking traffic to save a lot of money here.
The also have some fun kitchen gadgets.
