The folks at Simon Outlets created National Outlet Shopping Day in 2022, and they’re bringing it back for 2023.
I guess no one should be surprised that a company that owns one of the largest groups of outlet malls created this shopping holiday. And, as someone who loves shopping outlets, I was thrilled to learn about it.
I love shopping at the J. Crew and Banana Republic factory outlet stores near me. That would be the Kittery Premium Outlets, the only Simon-owned outlet mall in Maine.
That’s me trying on a coat at the J. Crew Factory store. Yes, I bought it.
When is National Outlet Shopping Day
National Outlet Shopping Day is June 10 and 11, 2023. Those are the Saturday and Sunday days.
What makes it a holiday? Well, the fact that all of the 90 Simon properties are participating, including the Kittery Premium Outlets.
Plus, there are sweepstakes and giveaways for the shoppers who show up on June 10 and 11.

Final thoughts on National Outlet Shopping Day
The other big outlet attraction in Maine is in Freeport. However, it does not seem to be owned by a big company like Simon or Tanger (which owns the outlets in Tilton, New Hampshire). That explains why they haven’t participated in this newer shopping holiday.
However, since Simon created National Outlet Shopping Day, only time will tell if this shopping holiday spreads to other non-Simon outlet malls. That being said, I sure hope that it does.
