Tucson already has several high-profile shopping centers, but it's never had a luxury retail outlet mall like Tucson Premium Outlets until recent times.
Located in Marana, just north of Tucson, the mall features a choice location just off Interstate 10 and Twin Peaks Road that's hard to miss.
The outlet mall currently boasts around 60 retailers, and there are plans to open more stores in the months to come. Some of the biggest designer names at the outlet mall include Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Coach, Brook Brothers, Aldo and Banana Republic.

If you're looking for a new pair of shoes, the Tucson Premium Outlets has one of the city's biggest selections of shoe stores in one place. Some of the stores include OshKosh B'Gosh, Crocs, Nike Factory Outlet, Converse, Carter's, Asics, Robert Wayne Footwear, Rack Room Shoes, Shoe Palace, Vans and Skechers.
Shoppers will also find plenty of specialty stores at the shopping center, such as the Luxury Beauty Store, offering a curated selection of high-end perfumes and cosmetics. For golf enthusiasts, the TaylorMade Golf Factory Store offers discounted golf equipment.
The outlet mall is also home to the city's only Toys “R” Us Express, a smaller version of the popular big-box toy retailer. And for kids who live for Disney, the outlet mall is home to the Disney Store Outlet, which sells official Disney merchandise that can be hard to find outside the theme park.
The open-air shopping center features Southwestern adobe-inspired architecture, rows of towering palm trees, native desert landscaping and decorative water features.
The outlet mall was also designed with shoppers' comfort in mind. During the blisteringly hot summer months, the mall will feature misters to help keep shoppers cool. For the cold winter months, there's a cozy outdoor fireplace.
Tucson Premium Outlets offers shoppers plenty of additional amenities, including a VIP shopper club, a nursing room, a play area for children and a media lounge.
If you work up an appetite while shopping, the outlet mall's food court includes Charleys Philly Steaks, Starbucks Coffee, Johnny Rockets, Sbarro, Orange Julius and a Wetzel’s Pretzels.
Visitors to the Tucson Premium Outlets who check in at the guest services booth will receive a special gift. Groups of shoppers can also call ahead to receive a special tour of the outlet mall.
