RETIRE TO GEORGIA IN STYLE

Visitors to the newest Tanger Outlet Mall grand opening on April 16-19 in Pooler, GA, were treated to fun, festivities and excellent Savannah shopping as 85 designer and favorite brand outlets opened for business. Pooler, a western suburb of Savannah only 10 miles from historic downtown, carries its own interesting history. In 1838, the town was named for Robert W. Pooler, a prominent Savannah resident who worked for the Central of Georgia Railroad. The company’s president was so happy with his efforts to extend the railroad that he named the first station outside of Savannah Pooler Station. It was here that General Sherman encamped before continuing his March to the Sea, and the fiery siege of Savannah.

But fireworks of a different sort lit up the new Savannah outlet mall, as thousands of shoppers from Coastal Georgia, South Carolina and the entire region converged to enjoy live entertainment, appearance by Jonathan and Drew Scott, the HGTV Property Brothers, contests and giveaways. Factory outlet stores such as Ann Taylor, Brooks Brothers, Coach and Ralph Lauren bring the height of style to excited shoppers, while the new facility provides an upscale shopping experience and modern amenities like free Wi-Fi access throughout.

The 560,000 square foot Savannah shopping center is located convenient to I-95 and minutes from Savannah Hilton Head International Airport.
