Albertville Premium Outlets

Albertville Premium Outlets, located at 6415 Labeaux Avenue NE in Albertville, Minnesota (about 30 minutes north of Minneapolis along the I‑94 corridor), is a spacious open-air outlet mall spread over roughly 80 acres and home to 60–100 brand-name stores such as Nike Factory Store, Coach Outlet, Michael Kors, UGG Outlet, The North Face, and lululemon—offering everyday discounts of about 25%–65% . The center features amenities like free parking, veteran-reserved spots, electric vehicle charging, complimentary wheelchairs, baby-changing stations, a children’s play area, and dining options including Starbucks, Five Guys, and food trucks . While the main section remains active, Reddit reports note that an older wing (the original “Promenade” section across the road) has largely been vacated and is slated for redevelopment . Overall, it remains Minnesota’s premier outlet shopping destination—especially for bargain hunters traveling between Minneapolis and St. Cloud .

This was my second time visiting Albertville Premium Outlet, and I have to say every shop had quality items at really reasonable prices. The public restrooms were also very well maintained, which is a big plus. The first time I came, I only bought an Adidas track pant, but on my second trip, I scored some amazing deals I got two Nike shoes for dirt cheap and a North Face jacket, and a pair of Gap shorts! I also tried the coffee, which was pretty good, and had Five Guys for the first time ever—the burger was delicious, and the cashiers were super chill. Overall, a great experience!

UPDATE- I originally placed this review here because I could not find a way on their website to email management. My original rating was 1 star. Because of immediate response from them here, and me seeing the flag down today when I ran some alterations to Tin’s Tailer…I have updated rating. Thank you! ——————————- As a local I appreciate having this mall to shop at and support. I am somewhat saddened, and was hoping that when they put the new Minnesota flag up that they would replace the US flag that has been tattered for a very long time. I understand that they may not be able to afford to replace it, but taking it down until that time and discarding it at the St. Michael American Legion…until which time it can be replaced…is more respectable than letting it fly in this condition.

One star for awareness. Your Vivi Bubble Tea vendor is against health code violations. The store is absolutely filthy. They have food products they are selling in a food case that is far neglected (as is the entire store) NO GLOVES or wrappers or napkins to handle unwrapped food (mochi donuts) or offer customers- rather a roll of paper towels “if you want one” that they will tear off from behind the counter with their dirty hands. 2 employees of which one had poor hygiene and from clothes and hands being dirty just didn’t hit the mark- I witnessed them refuse cash payment because “they are out of cash” and earn repeated reviews of consistently being out of menu items. I witnessed an employee half seal a beverage and toss it at a customer today. We love the outlets. We had exceptional service at Five Guys instead and always do, but that bubble tea shop is an eye sore, a downer and leaves a lasting impression of “ick” plus they don’t have a social media presence so you can’t leave reviews directly. Also noticed a few dead birds in parking lot and a lot of police activity.Not sure how much longer this location will last if things continue to decline. I would much rather see it come back up and succeed, but it has to start by someone who can make that impact, actually addressing the issues on site. Dropping this here in hopes Simons will take note. Thanks

The shopping center has great outlets for all to enjoy. From Nike to sketchers, it has all you need for your great shopping needs. Even though 94 is going through construction, it's still an easy place to get to.

I had a wonderful experience June 1, 2025 around 6:35:12PM shopping at the Albertville Premium Outlet Mall at Aeropostale store #0651, overall they had a T-shirt that I liked alot but I had noticed the sales associate #984979 register #001 Transaction #1998 on June 1, 2025 around 6:35:12PM had a messy counter top at her register when I was checking out, I noticed that she had an ice coffee behind her from Starbucks where you place the returns/exchanges, however when I got back to my aunt's house back in Saint Anthony, MN 55418 I noticed that this sales associate #984979 made an honest mistake not realizing she had stained my brand new hamburger hello kitty T-shirt from the mess she had on the counter by her register, I was told by the supervisor Ex to contact Aeropostale customer service, however I don't want this sales associate #984979 to get penalized for her mistake of staining my brand new T-shirt because it was an accident & wasn't done intentionally & she didn't even realize that it got stained by her area that I seen was messy, she is a good hard worker & I forgive her, I don't want management of Aeropostale giving her a verbal warning, written warning or any suspension. I just want sales associate #984979 to be made aware that she shouldn't be eating or drinking anything up front by the registers & that her work station should alway's be disinfected & clean when operating with customer clothing because customer happiness is a must & customer satisfaction. remember R.E.A.C.H (remember everyone associates customer happiness) I believe going forward no sales associate should be eating or drinking around any of the registers up front & this Aeropostale store #0651 really needs to give thanks to the Aeropostale store #0340 give the manager a thank you for going above & beyond to fix Aeropostale store #0651 sales associate #984979 mistake prior to my Hamburger Hello Kitty T-shirt that was damaged by the stain that got on it from the messy counter by the register. I gave a 5 star because everyone is a hard worker at this location & I was very satisfied overall, this minor mistake was unexpected by the sales associate but got fixed & resolved immediately by the Aeropostale store #0340 in Oakwood Mall on Golf Rd in Eau Claire, WI & I was given an even exchange. I ask of store #0651 to give store #0340 a call & give a sincere thank you to the manager that helped me through this, I will come back to shop at store #0651 but I ask that sales associates eat in the break room & not on the work floor & to keep there work area cleaned at all times when handling my clothing next time. customer's alway's can see when a sales associate keeps there area clean, & when there working hard at there best. I worked for alot of retail store's before & customer satisfaction & happiness is important because that's how you get good store ratings, store promotions, & the more good store reviews, the more customer attraction to the store & more positive encouragement comes from customers to others to come shop at that store location, meaning the store gets more money. Keep up the good work everyone, I'm unable to exchange at this store because I don't live in Albertville, MN but if I was given 40% off my next purchase from this store location or an in store credit for what happend & the mistake that occurred, I definitely will want to come back sooner than later, other customers who view this & shops in your location knows your a good store & you guys care & go above & beyond to give good customer satisfaction that you value so much so that customers keep coming back to shop for more just like me, but I honestly gave 5 stars because I care about everyone who works at store #0651 & nobody's perfect at there job & I'm just looking out for everyone & the store because I love shopping there for clothes & colognes. Thank you for all the hard work you do to keep customers happy & wanting to shop for more. Have a wonderful great Summer! Keep up the good work sales associates & to everyone of Aeropostale in Albertville, MN. Sincerely, Long

It's a great shopping spot with a nice variety of collections and moderate prices. I visited Nike, Gap, Aeropostale, and a few other stores, and they were all excellent places to shop. However, the place could use more attention to cleaning, and it would be great to have a few more options for food and snacks.

Love this outlet because it have a lot of different stores. By far best service I found in Jockey store. I usually don’t remember names but this time I did her name is Karen and she was outstanding definitely knows her job. Karen make my day I would definitely come back here she got my trust in knowing what is good and comfortable for women.

If you know me, you know I like fashionable things. However, in knowing me, you would also discover that I try to seek out those same items for the most affordable price: enter Albertville Premium Outlets. ++ During our visit we checked out: Michael Kors, Coach, North Face, and Zales. There's ample other store offerings including Kate Spade, Zumiez, Torrid, Ralph Lauren, Carters, and more! ++ The layout is pretty typical; a strip mall, with each store's entrance going directly to the outside. ++ There is a Five Guys and Starbucks to satisfy any pre- or post-shopping hunger. ++ Albertville Premium Outlets def offers more than enough parking to handle any size crowd. -- Like most outlet malls I've been to in the past few years, there are quite a few vacancies. Def a bummer. Albertville Premium Outlets def checked all the items I have come to expect in an outlet mall. I'd gladly stop back by on my way to Northern Minnesota again.

Large Outlet Shopping Center in MN We were looking for something to do and, of course, shopping is always a winner with my group of women. We went and checked out this outdoor outlet mall off of I-94 at Hwy 19 (half an hour north of Minneapolis). Lululemon was the first store we hit. I don't shop at this store because, well, once you enter the store you'll know why (especially if you're conscious about your budget). I don't do yoga and I don't wear leggings. But two of my companions came out with purchases. We walked the perimeter of one side of the mall from end to end. Long walk. We looked at stores like The North Face, UGG Outlet, Coach Outlet, and Michael Kors... the mall offers a variety of shops from clothing and shoes to accessories. For a Sunday afternoon the crowd seemed to be sparse. Lots of sales to entice shoppers but few foot traffic. There was an ice cream food truck on the premises. I did not purchase anything.

I am a little on the fence with my review. I landed on 3 stars as they have a wide assortment of very good stores, across a wide price range. I was here with the family a few weeks ago and we got things for the whole family. So what's the problem? Well, it is spread out over what seems like miles of space with a parking lot that is big enough to land a plane. We went on a cold windy day and we gave up after only getting halfway through the place. I think this would be great on a spring or summer day, but during our 10 months of winter, I think I am going to pass on coming back.

I haven't been up here for some time, definitely pre-COVID. I was sorry to see so many of the stores were no longer open. I definitely missed the shoe stores as I love a fun, fashionable shoe. For the stores that were open, we received good service and all were well stocked. We got especially great service in the Kate Spade store. The Nike store had a huge line queued up outside so we opted to skip that store but went in the vast majority of the others. If you are coming up from the Twin Cities, I would recommend to just go to the Twin Cities Outlet in Eagan as many of the stores are also located there. The one exception is the Albertville Outlet has a Lululemon store which is always popular. It's a great stop if you live north and don't want to go into MPLS/StPaul area.

Albertville outlet mall is a good place to get a wide variety of shopping done in one trip. However, you can tell that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken its tole! Limited to no food options - so if you're planning on going for more than a few hours, plan accordingly! Also so many of the stores have closed & moved to other locations! It's really sad to see because this was always a great holiday stop for us! The arbor lakes outdoor mall seemed to have more options - although not an outlet - is also an option to hit a variety of shops all at one time.

Oh my goodness this is a great place for finding great deals with name brands you're familiar with. Especially right before Christmas. Personally, I enjoyed specific shops such as: The North Face, Clark's, Columbia, The Gap, Banana Republic, Famous Footwear, Kitchen Collection, American Eagle, The Cosmetic Company, and Under Armour. Even found a neat new shop called The Peak. They carry a Finish brand, Luhta. It's Europe's popular outerwear and sportswear. They have many cute specialty items. My friends and I each bought these adorable keychain bunnies for $15 +tax for our purses. They're ridiculously soft and so therapeutic petting them. Sure they're pricey, but we agreed they're well worth it. Haha

This place was hopping on a Monday afternoon at three. It's a very Covid friendly style mall since you're walking outside most of the time. Plenty of parking. The bathrooms were big and well cleaned. We had a nice Starbucks, a good trip to Jockey, Eddie Bauer, and Lululemon. We passed on the line to get into the Nike store, but Lululemon had a nice app where you could wait out your "line" time while shopping in other stores. There were a couple of out of business stores, but not many on the side we were on. I was impressed with the prices, we'll be back....

The Good: There are definitely good deals to be had, typically 50-75% off. My personal favorites are probably Calvin Klein and Eddie Bauer. You rarely feel like it's crowded with the stores being scattered over 2mi. The Bad: The stores are beyond spread out. I hate that I have to drive and park at least twice, and you're seemingly always one wrong step away from getting hit by a car. The Ugly: Parking lot, insane drivers whipping about like they're on a racetrack. The restrooms... don't, if you can avoid it. I definitely prefer "the other" outlet mall, in every category I can think of.

Who knew that a small redneck town would have such a fabulous outlet mall like this?! I certainly didn't until last week. This was accident that I discovered this outlet mall. Coincidentally, I was driving along 94, which is my unusual route for driving that direction. I happened to have needed some clothes. I saw it, and I drove over there to check it out. I'm happy that I did because there's a lot of things to buy and more things to do than the appearance would say. I love the selection of clothing lines they have there. Most of them are high end, but there are some mid-range priced places for people like me who don't like to spend $200 on a pair of pants. Walking and navigating there is easy. Most of everything there is is viewable from 94. That means I didn't have much of a problem navigating from point A to point B. Most of the employees in the shops are friendly. The level of friendliness depends on where I went. I don't know the next time I'll drive along 94, but if I do and when the right time comes, I'll definitely be back.

This place is a ghost town. Stores that should be open are locked up, no place to eat except Burger King, only clothing and shoe stores, no home goods or kitchen stores any more. You know what would receive this place is making it a destination again. Fill the vacant spots with escape rooms, restaurants, specialty shops, etc. Bring out food trucks or something. I get that 2020 was rough for retail as well as people shopping online more. But with this change in consumer habits is a HUGE opportunity! Hopefully the investors of the place are in the process of making this change.

I've been to the Albertville Premium Outlets about half a dozen times in my life. I've hated every trip there. Here's why. The parking and traffic and people driving around crazily without regard for others has been apparent on every trip. If you have a larger girth, you're not going to find anything that fits you here at any of the stores. It's size bias. How about a large and tall store? The restroom situation needs serious attention. There are too few restrooms, and they're not convenient. It's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to have to get in your car and drive clear across the parking lot to use the one restroom they have. Food. Lack of it. You have a choice of burger, better burger, or Subway. There really should be some other options here for those who don't like shopping. There's a Burger King across the way; a Five Guys in the mall; a Subway; and a Culver's and Space Aliens within close driving range. I think what I dislike the most is how far apart the stores are. I very much prefer the Eagan Outlet. They used their space better there. After my last failed attempt at the Albertville Outlet, I really don't mind if I never return there again.

It is just amazing the sheer stupidity of this place. We can stand in line for 30 minutes to enter a store but we can't use a bathroom. All are closed. The Subway has theirs closed. The management offices closed and no one can use a restroom. You can't use the one at Burger King up the street because theirs are closed too. Here is what your absolutely STUPID and IGNORANT rules that you obviously DID NOT think about did for the customer "safety". People like me and my family left and held on to their money despite driving 60 miles to get there. There are families there with children you morons! Get a clue. Locking down restrooms but allowing people in your stores in hypocritical and the peak of stupidity. Idiots!

Very, very laid out in terms of shopping real estate. Be careful on making the left or right off of the main road (Lebeaux Street, I think) due to slight construction plus pedestrian crosding. Pretty awesome place. I mean, who needs Mall of America and it's 520 stores when you have this outlet mall that's just as good with less, huh?

Its ok, needs a serious update potholes that can damage cars, paint newer side of mall is empty, yet they supposedly have been saying there selling in for years. Winter is tough, they don't plow or salt well at all and its outdoors not sure why in MN (winters) they build outdoor malls? Some cool stores, Clarks, Under Armor, Old Navy etc and sadly a lot of stores leaving but thats a sign of the times with retail. But if in the area I recommend stopping in to support the retailers. Be amazing if they had a food court but maybe in time! Have fun shopping :)

I'm giving this outlet mall a one star because I couldn't give it a zero. I drove up from Hopkins, rushed myself and my kids knowing they close at 7. We got there at 6:33, walking towards Nike store. Not even at the curb yet and a guy outside of Nike says out loud "we are close!" I thought he was joking but a security was out side w this fella had confirmed it. I'm sorry but I'm a store manager and we don't close our doors til the clock say so. Sure we might warn ppl that we will be closing in 15 mins but I had plenty of time. The security guard had said that the whole mall is doing a "HARD CLOSE".......WHAT?!!!! I've been in this business and I've never ever heard of "HARD CLOSE!!" Ok let's just say there is such thing......WHY WASNT THAT ANNOUNCED OR PUT IN YOUR WEBSITE?!!! THAT IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF RUNNING A BUSINESS. Losing 1 customer might not be bad but I will make sure customers hears about this. From now on I'm taking my kids and my family to Eagan Outlet mall. Learn how to communicate to guests and give them ample time to adjust to new time restrictions. When your website says 11-7, you stay open til 7!! Not 6:33 not 6:45.......it says 7!!

Shop till you drop... or run out of money. Being a visitor to the area, my friend wanted to check out some stores for some birthday shopping. I think I'm spoiled living in the Vegas area with 2 Outlet areas to frequent. My friend mentioned how it was once a booming place when it first opened. We parked on the smaller side of the outlets. She was surprised at how many empty locations were there. Since there wasn't much to see we drove across the street to the larger side. I wish they had a walkway between both sides but the road is quite busy and she didn't feel comfortable trying to cross it. No problem. The larger side of the two had much more to offer ~ Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Coach. Can you guess what we like to shop for? There seemed to be more to offer with more of an abundance of people. I couldn't imagine trying to shop here in the winter time. It would definitely be the down side of visiting multiple stores in the snow and cold.

I like the Albertville outlets... it's a totally decent outlet mall. It's not the biggest or best outlet mall I've ever been to, but it is a decent place to shop. I find that i mostly find things I need at Eddie Bauer, New York & Company, Jones New York and occasionally Ann Taylor. But we find other things every now and then. I do find that I am annoyed by the traffic surrounding this center. It's a situation that's exacerbated because the outlet mall is actually split into two sections on either side of the main road. Since I like stores on both sides that means I have to actually get in my car at least once when we're there to go to the other side of the center. So park twice, etc. It's just kind of annoying. I do find that I feel I get decent deals, but the savings aren't of the magnitude that I'm blown away. It's a decent place to find some decent deals. From the cities, it's not a place I'm going to drive to every weekend, but I do find myself stopping out at the outlets a couple of times a year. It's totally worth the trip on Black Friday. Tip: They have an online club and when you sign up you then can access online coupons for the stores. I never make a trip without logging into my account and printing coupons for the stores I think I am likely to visit. Helps me save even more.

I like meeting friends from St. Cloud here as it's about 1/2 way for each of us. There are plenty of stores and I always find a lot of great deals. I do hate that there are stores across the hwy from the larger section, it's kind of scary crossing so I have only been over to that side once.

I was daunted by some of the comments about some of the stores having rejected clothing due to tears, make up stains, etc. I did not have that experience at all. I went to Ann Taylor Loft, Charlotte Russe, Banana Republic, Columbia, Converse, Nine West, and Under Armor among others, and I found tons of great deals. Wear comfortable shoes. Bring water. Plan on stopping for food. Take the shuttle. Definitely know where the bathrooms are, and download the map/directory from the website so you can maximize your time!

This is a great outlet mall. If you have a chance to swing by this way, you should. They have the best deals in Coach here. I spent a grip at Coach, Kenneth Cole, and Fossil. They don't have the high end items like YSL, Gucci, or Prada but this is a good place to go, especially if you're on a budget. Dunn Brothers coffee goes great with the cookies at Mrs. Field's. I also love that Minnesota doesn't have sales tax for their clothes.

I haven't been to many outlet malls, but this one is definitely my favorite out of the 3 or 4 I have been to. I got some really good deals at Coach, Michael Kors, Banana Republic, and Ann Taylor. Coach was having a sale where everything was an additional 50% off which blew my mind considering a lot of the stuff was in-season. As others have mentioned, much of the selection you see is pretty outdated, but with persistence and a little bit of luck, you will surely go home with more purses and dresses than you need! Don't go shopping hungry though, because they only have a Subway, TCBY, and a couple of vending machines. Otherwise, I was really happy with my purchases!

OK, I'm going to drive 25 minutes to look for half ass deals on outdated styles of cloths that I can buy in the city, but the current style, for less money! Oh and at $3.25 a gallon to get here. Oh I'm sure for women's fashion this is probably a very different experience but lately for men's cloths at least it is much better to shop at Macey's and rummage through some racks than to venture out to Albertville. For some of the brands that I like, Calvin Klein, Polo, nautica, Kenneth Cole...I can find all of these at other store, more current trends for around the same price or better. I thought the whole idea was to drive out of the city for these super great deals on clothing that was deeply discounted though the company stores. Now if I want to dress the baggy, huge ass brand name all over the back, hip hop style that might be in if I was 20 then I'd be good. Otherwise I'll guess I'll save the gas and stay in the city! KT

Calling all shoppers. There's a deal here! Thumbs up: -Plenty of parking -Outdoor mall -Variety for all -Not too far from metro area -Price on point, good deals even better then the Internet Thumbs down: -You might be able to say no to the deals -Food options eh Never pay full price again! Well ever, you just shouldn't.

If I had to go to an Outlet, I would pick this one over the new one in Eagan but I hate shopping so I would prefer to not go to either. The only reason I came here lately was to return a few items I had ordered online. I did go into a few stores while I was out there but the prices, to this bargain online shopper who always has extra online coupon codes, were way too expensive! I have been on this sandal hunt for about a month now and both Clarks and Aerosoles, were more expensive than had I just bought them at Herbergers or Macys with coupons. No good deals here at all! I have found this to be true for most stores in most outlets across the country. People think they are getting good deals but they really are not. One exception here is the Coach Outlet. I do think you can get some good deals in that store.

Was here for Labor day.. and had a wonderful day of shopping! I've been looking for cardigans at Macy's and all the other stores at the mall but couldn't find any... then I thought about the outlet stores here...and I found my perfect cardigan at the Tommy Hilfiger store...I also found a pretty blouse at Ann Taylor, and a sweater at Old Navy...oh..also cute workout pants at the Puma store... my mom got a potato scrub brush at the kitchen store... oh..she also found a nice top at Banana Republic and Ann Taylor ...we really had an awesome time!

I live to go here but both bathrooms were closed on a Wednesday at 2:00 and the lulu store had a 2 hour wait so go there right away and then they text you 15 before your time and masks are maditory

This outlet mall is a convenient size, nothing too large or unmanageable. It was unfortunate how spaced out the different store sections are which makes it not very walkable, but it makes for a better parking scenario compared to other outlets where they're all in a circle. Could easily drive from store to store that you're interested in and get a close parking spot. Visited at 1pm during the week and there were no lines and no waiting for parking spots which was awesome. The types of stores were a good mix. It would be nice to see a large department size outlet store but that's just not there. Biggest stores seemed to be Nike and Polo based on size. Favorite stores were LuluLemon, Columbia and Express. Everything was actually on sale unlike other outlets where normal stores are mixed in with outlets. For example, North Face was 40-50% off on all items so definitely can save some money for the drive out here!

Not the most convenient shopping center when visiting Minneapolis but mostly worth the trip out. There is a Dollar Tree and a Taco John's nearby so there were a few other useful distractions for me. The usual mix of Simon Premium Outlet stores with lots of parking. Be sure to join the VIP club to get a discount card when you go.

I had a fabulous time here -- I was able to find an adorable J.Crew dress for $6.00. That isn't just luck; it's god at work. Very solid selection of stores, and if you stick to the clearance racks (I know, cheapest person alive - clearance rack at the outlet mall), you can tons of quality stuff fun under $10 an item. The outlet mall was not overly crowded when we were here on a Saturday; we dealt with few long lines and were able to get in and out of stores pretty quickly. I will definitely be back for my cute-on-the-cheap needs.

Generally I enjoy going to outlets and go with the approach that I'll find something but without any necessary item in mind that I have to really get. I never go shopping alone really, so I been here with friends past few times. Parking was actually pretty easy the last three times (all weekends) and there were lot less people than I expected based on reviews. However, the drive from Minneapolis to Albertville is pretty long (all three times there were some traffic going back to the city), generally about 30 minutes or so. The layout of the stores is odd -- mostly laid out widely rather than centralized. There are supposedly Buildings A to F (or G, I forget) but really it seems like there are 3 groups of buildings, with the blue ones (E to G) randomly scattered in the third section. I thought the mall had a good variety of stores but within each store the organization of ANYTHING was terrible. It was legitimately like induced ADHD inattention subtype because there are just things everywhere (on the floor, on hangers, in sections not meant for those clothing articles, etc). I went to about two stores before reality checked in and I knew I wouldn't get anything so I didn't try. The "deals" weren't really deals and probably are about the same as going to the regular store with a minor sale. Also, from past experience, sometimes the clothes from the outlet versions seem to have questionable quality. All three times, I left empty-handed whereas when I go to MoA, the opposing phenomena occurs. Overall, considering the extra gas, time, and mental effort I need to shop here, I prefer just going to MoA, Southdale Mall, or just generally a local mall. Excuse me while I go take some Adderall now.

This is the best outlet mall in Minnesota. Parking is usually plentiful and the selection of stores is excellent. There are real deals here unlike many other mock outlet malls in the country. Check out their really premium brands such as Banana Republic, Hanna Andersson, Le Creuset, Coach and more. When I lived in Minneapolis, we made a trip here every quarter. The regularity and frequency kept my wife happy and the fact that you could buy most of your clothes from here made me happy as well. How's that for a win-win solution, Mr. Covey? Not to mention I put money in the emotion bank during the drive!

I'm not big on shopping (and you can tell) but when I do head out Minnesota, this is the place I go to. They've got a good variety of shopping outlets. I can get up to 14 outfits for less than 500 bucks. Now isn't that great!!! :) Plus it's Minnesota, no tax on clothes who in California doesn't like the sound of that.

Don't have a lot of choices for shoes... Many brands here like Coach and MK but not really fashion... Altogether ok except that the luxurious cosmetic store sells product that seems already opened...

I am not much a shopper. When I do...there are few requirements: 1) Since I am going to suffer, its need to be a road trip(because we are not going to make it a habit to do this every weekend). Albertville is at least 40 minute drive from Bloomington. The cool thing about this is that we will stop some restaurant along the way home - my stomach will appreciate it. 2) There must be lots of stores to choose from(my boy and I don't have to go to every single girly dress store); 3) There better be a hunting store on the way (in this case there is holy hunting meca - Cabella's along the way) 4) There has to be something weird about this place that entertains me...In this case, the Coach store ALWAYS have a line outside its door. I swear there is always at least 20-30 feet waiting line outside on the weekends, like it is some exquisite club where only certain women are allow to enter. Here is the weird part: why is there so many men standing in line...I want to look into their eyes to understand them but most of them are in despair and staring @ their shoes... What stores I like here: * Any candy store: Harry & Davids have crazy caramel popcorn - MOOSE MUNCH. You can thank me later. Their dark chocolate truffles will make your significant others happy. * Nike/Adidass/Under Armor Stores: because men are NOT creative on their dress code. * Any kitchen stores: because I am a guy(love gadgets) and spend more time in the kitchen than anywhere else. * Prices are decent here compare to the same stores in TC, especially sport equipment and shoes. * If you use the fitbit, this is a great place to accumulate 10k steps - EASILY. What I don't like here: * The Mall have 2 sections that is separate with the main road. No matter how you look at it. There will be a lot of walking if you want to see every store, especially you have to trek back to your car. * It is not an enclose mall. Hence you are expose to the elements. Do they realize we live in MN?! * Nike/Adidass/Under Armor store: quite a line for the checkout...Again, men are not that creative on their dress code. * There are very limited restaurants here: Subway & Burger King are as sophisticated as it gets. Again, plan on finding a decent restaurant on the way home 8).

Every year before the new school year began and summer came to a tragic end my mom, sister, and I would head to Albertville in search of the latest fashion trends at a reduced price. I absolutely love Albertville and I very rarely leave disappointed. They have stores for every consumer ranging from my favorites COACH and Gap to Bath and Body Works and Nike. Wear comfortable shoes because it is a whole day full of walking. Two things to remember about Albertville that I think are not so good... On weekends in the summer the place can be a zoo due to people heading home or to their lake places. And second there is no restaurant in Albertville (minus Subway) so be prepared to either take a drive to one and break from shopping or to eat before or after your shopping excursion. Trust me Albertville gives you a good walking work-out!

If you love to spend your weekend day in zoo like crowds and confused drivers, then this is the place for you! The prices aren't really that different than what you can find online. I will tip my hat to the Puma store though. I found some stellar kicks there at a price that no online retailer could match. Yes, there are decent deals, and yes you don't pay shipping and handling, and yes there isn't sales tax....but, I won't be visiting this consumer mecca on the weekends again...

For some reason I remembered there being more stores when I came the first time. This is the place to shop for clothes since there is no sales tax. I got my sister some maternity outfits at Motherhood. There's not a lot of restaurants to stop in and get a quick bite to continue on with the shopping. They have a mix of shops from Old Navy, Michael Kors, BCBG, Tommy Hilfiger, Ecco, Eddie Bauer, Carter's, Coach, Kenneth Cole, and more. I wish that you didn't have to cross the light and busy intersection to get to the other stores.

Went to CHicos, had the worst customer service. Not worth going to this location. Shops empty. Do not go.

For an outlet mall, this place sure is lacking on the outlet stores. I don't get why some stores are here, like Bath and Body Works. Really misleading because not all stores are outlet. Certain stores aren't really worth going into. You can get things on sale at Gap for cheaper than their outlet store. Other stores are for sure worth going into. My advice is to have a strategy for this place. Everything is very spread out, so you're not going to want to walk the whole thing in the winter. I just wish this place had easier access to the interstate. While it is right next to the interstate, the only exits are a few miles away. Really poor planning, but I guess it doesn't stop shoppers from finding a way to show up. Oh, and bring a lunch. No options in the area.

Great selection of stores! Just avoid Guess, horrible customer service and rude employees. Was in the store for over 30 minutes and wasn't even once acknowledged or even said hello too. Only one other customer, however THREE employees standing around and chatting not even folding clothes or cleaning out the dressing rooms. Called and complained to manager, Maddie who was equally rude. Every other store is great!

I got some great deals here at Calvin Klein, they had a store wide 40% sale! Whoo Hoo! Add that onto a promotion for $5 off if you text a number and I totally scored. They had a lot of the mid-range designers like coach, guess, banana republic, Ann Taylor, BCBG and such but not a lot of super high end stuff. I spent less than a $100 though can came home with pair of pants and sweater that where all high quality designer. My boyfriend scored a real leather jacket for less than $100 too at the Guess store. We'll be back soon to get our winter wardrobe, since we just moved from cali, lord knows we are gonna need a lot of gear!

I just don't get it. If you get Gap / Old Navy emails, prices are better in store /online with the discounts they are offering. You see swarms of Soccer Mom's, buses of Ladies from Out State Book Clubs swarming here on the weekends. When friends from out of town come this is where they want to shop. I just don't see the appeal. It's just not for me. In my opinion, the "deals" here aren't that good. Shops selection is what you find at your typical mall.

FINALLY made it out to the Coach outlet, (im usaually at a job or cookin for a kid, lol) the only other time I went out, was on Black Friday and whoa, that was a mistake... There was a line that spanned past 6 or 7 other stores, needless to say, I didnt make it in... Even if I had stood in line and I did make it in, there would not have been anything left but keychains. But this visit yes, I made it in and it was pleasantly surprised that they did actually have a nice variety. Of course its a mix of last seasons, overstocks and discontinued stuff, but its ok, I love coach, and I still use all of my coach bags from years and years ago. The staff was very nice, there was just a creepy moment or two when one lady kept popping up when i would grab a bag to look at and she would "just happen to have the matching wallet in her hand" lol but other than that, It was a great experience. I will definitely go back when I have some free time and some $$ to spend!!

Great times and great shops! I really enjoy the nice layout of shops along the mall. There are a few restaurants in the area, but still a little short in that regard. Definitely worth going to if in the area!

went there while vac in mn and had a greatime there we visited many outlets and malls while we there and went to albertville po, bouth two pair of shoes for kids, it was great, very clean, restroom very clean..and there is fast food restaurant around

We have better outlets back home in Texas so my review maybe a tad harsh. First off not many stores compared to what we have back home , second the doesn't seem to be as many high end stores. Third not many options if any at all to eat. So if you are used to going to an outlet mall where you have endless options of high end shopping and taking a break at a nice restaurant then don't bother. Guess everything is bigger n better in TEXAS!

WTH... How is this outlet mall? Only sale section were cheaper than regular stores. Everything else were regular price.

The quality and quantity of stores were great. The condition of the walkways were really bad. My elderly mother tripped over the uneven pavement a couple of times so be careful when walking this outlet mall.

Traffic sucks getting in and out on busy weekends, but it's still a great mall! Tons of stores, perfect place to be on a beautiful summer day :)
