Grove City Premium Outlets, (formerlyPrime Outlets-Grove City) is an open-airoutlet mall, which is situated onInterstate 79, four miles south of its junction withInterstate 80, inSpringfield Township, west ofGrove City,Pennsylvania.
Located about sixty miles north ofPittsburgh and seventy miles south ofErie, Grove City Premium Outlets includes more than one hundred and thirty brand-name outlet stores, a food court, and one of thePittsburgh Steelers' official team stores.[1] It is one of the largest outlet malls in the United States.[2]
In 2002, it was announced that Grove City Outlet's parent company Prime Outlets, was struggling to stay out of debt.[3]
In 2006,Value Retail News rated Prime Outlets in Grove City as one of the top twenty outlet centers in the United States.[4] The outlets previously received the award in 2004.[5]
OnBlack Friday in 2006, shoppers created atraffic jam 10 miles (16 km) long during the middle of the night on Interstate 79.[6]
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.[7] A number of hotels are adjacent to the center.[8]
In late August 2010, the center was acquired bySimon Property Group's Premium Outlet sector along with the majority of the Prime Outlet centers. It was then renamed Grove City Premium Outlets in September 2010.[9]
