Our teen girls loved the H & M when you first pull into the outlet center. I even found some pieces ( less than $20 outfit) and changed immediately after being out in the rain and 90 plus degree weather for hours. It was refreshing before the long ride home. Crocs store had great sales, and we went in two of the restrooms and they were very clean and overall well maintained all stores had masking signage and number of persons Allowed posted on store signage or door helpers available to deal with the new Covid rules. We went in the Nile store and Forever 21 and made purchases. The Rock and Roll Sushi was hectic and the staff behind the counter appeared very stressed, so we left. We went and picked up sushi from the Publix across the street and all was good. Overall and enjoyable time and we keep coming back to these amazing outlets when we are in the area. Smoothies at peach wave were good too. The staff was super friendly and helpful there!

Enjoyed shopping here. It is a nice big two story mall with a good amount of stores. Had belk, dillards , yankee candle, hot topic, decent size food court. Went to build a bear where the staff was friendly and helpful. Dealt with a nice young lady a t-shirt booth near hot topic that sales simply southern shirts. Over all a nice visit and somewhere I would visit again if ever back in the Huntsville area and was wanting to shop. Check this place out.
