Outlet Mall Round Rock & San Marcos?

Question

This is mainly a rant, but it does have a question and you are free to comment.

There are TWO outlet malls in San Marcos (combined 250 stores) that are right next to each other. There is an outlet mall in Round Rock (only 125 stores). The TWO that are in San Marcos have been there for YEARS. The ONE in Round Rock has been there for half a year.

Why is it that nobody seems to know about the SM malls? I tell people that I went to the outlet store, and they reply as if I were talking about the RR mall. I tell them, that I did not go to RR, and they ask me where I went. People seem to think that the RR mall is the only outlet mall in central Texas. Even those who are actually closer to San Marcos (my neighborhood is on the southside). Well, for their information.....people travel would travel (and still do) hundreds of miles to go to the SM outlet malls.

Do you remember the outlet malls in San Marcos? Or do you think the RR mall is the only mall?

Answer 2

Outlet Mall Round Rock

Answer 3

Round Rock Outlet Mall

Answer 4

My family, friends and I all live right next to the new outlet mall. It's nice not to have to drive to San Marcos, or any of the central Texas malls, which are always a pain in the butt... I like how the Round Rock Outlet Mall is set up.



The San Marcos outlet malls are where my friends and I spent most of our weekends. I really like the new Round Rock Outlet Mall, but there's something to be said for the classic.



I don't know... the way gas prices are now, I try to stay in Round Rock most of the time, but I haven't forgotten about San Marcos!

Answer 5

I live an hour north of Round Rock and drive to the San Marcos outlet all the time. I went to the RR one after they opened to check it out but won't waste my time again. It looks nice but that's about it. There aren't many stores and they aren't any cheaper than going to your local mall. I would drive the extra hour any day!



The people you're reffering to are just missing out!

Answer 6

Been there, to San Marcos Outlet mall

Answer 7

I've been to both and I honestly don't see why anyone would bother with either. The prices are NOT that much lower than in the regular stores. In the cases of the moderately priced stores, sometimes the outlet prices are higher!



They're both ridiculous and a waste of time.

Answer 8

I wasn't aware there was an outlet mall in Round Rock. I guess it just depends on where you are from.

Answer 9

San Marcos Rocks!



Do yourself a favor and go there.
