Houston Premium Outlets, Cypress

Soooooooo many stores to choose from. It’s best to go during the week while most people are at school or work, then it’s not so crowded. Everyone is nice for the most part. You could seriously spend ALL day there finding great buys!!

Shopping centers are on the decline nationwide. They don’t have quite the drawing power that they once had and a good number have shut down. But some are still alive and thriving and in Houston, one mall that is going strong is Houston Premium Outlets. Houston Premium Outlets is different from other area shopping centers, mainly because it is not an indoor shopping center. There is no central walkway inside an enclosed space. Instead, you walk outside from one store to the next. This means you are exposed to the heat during the warm times of the year, as well as occasional rain, and the only escape is to walk into one of the stores, which are all climate controlled. As for the stores, Houston Premium Outlets features several hard- to- find shopping options and this is what makes it popular with locals. The stores are generally high- end or borderline high- end, with only a few exceptions. Prices are a little on the high end, too, but right in line with what you expect for these types of stores. If you need help finding the store of your choosing at Houston Premium Outlets, they are ready to assist you with the directories. These are not your average directories- they are electronic kiosks with touch- screen capabilities, scattered throughout the complex. They are large, too. You touch the screen to activate, then slide it back and forth to help you locate the store in which you wish to shop. Parking encircles Houston Premium Outlets so you shouldn’t have any issues finding a place for your vehicle and none of the parking is very far away, so it takes little effort to walk into the center, even from the furthest parking spots. Eating and drinking options are limited at Houston Premium Outlets and there is no standout among them. I prefer indoor shopping centers myself, but Houston Premium Outlets does have its merits and the location at Grand Parkway 99 and highway 290 is easy to find.
