Prime Outlets-Grove City, is an open-air outlet mall located at the intersection of Interstate 79 and Route 208 in Grove City, Pennsylvania, United States, about 58 miles north of Pittsburgh. Grove City Outlets includes more than 140 brand-name outlet stores, most notably one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' official team stores.[1] It is one of the largest outlet malls in the United States.[2]
In 2006, Value Retail News rated Prime Outlets in Grove City as one of the top 20 outlet centers in the United States.[3] The outlets previously received the award in 2004.[4]
On Black Friday in 2006, shoppers created a traffic jam 10 miles (16 km) long during the middle of the night.[5]
Due to Pennsylvania's lack of sales tax on clothing, many visitors to Grove City's outlets are from out-of-state or from Canada.[6]
In 2002, it was announced that Grove City Outlet's parent company Prime Outlets was struggling to stay out of debt.[7]
Grove City will soon face regional competition as a Tanger outlet center is expected to open in Washington County, Pa., about one-and-a-half hours' drive from Grove City and just 20 miles south of Pittsburgh.[8]
