    Discount shopping

    Posted by emac777 28 February 2006

    I found the best deals are in the discount and factory outlet shopping centres. 35 minutes north on the GA400 is Dawsonville, where you will find North Georgia Premier Outlets and some 100 stores, including big names such as Bose, Ralph Lauren Polo, Adidas, Nike Factory Store, Levi’s, Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karan, Eddie Bauer, GAP, Hugo Boss, Royal Doulton and much more.

    If you have teenage children then this place is a must. My girls were able to purchase Nike, and Adidas trainers for a fraction of the cost in the malls. This outlet had something for everyone: acres of parking space, toilets (restrooms), ATM machines and good cheap food. A shopper’s paradise and a must if and when you visit Atlanta.

    Tanger Factory Outlet Centres in Dalton and Locust Grove offer more than 150 stores.

    Horizon Outlet Centres in Calhoun, off interstate 75, features more than 55 retail stores.
