outlet malls are not regional malls; there are no major department stores as anchors, and are usually populated with out of date/overstock/or just stuff that the regular stores could not get rid of. in Philadelphia we have a huge outlet mall, Franklin Mills. The turnover of stores is constant, with empty storefronts all the time. And bargains....well, you can do better at Wal-mart, Target, or even Macy's. And there is a Wal-mart on the property but is free-standing.
