At least once a month this summer, my brother and I make it out to the Premium Outlets - North. For what reason? Before the Las Vegas Outlets - South had it, BR was one of the main justifications for our northbound journey.
Now, walking into Banana Republic is like a hot mess, a trainwreck at best. Hectic, poorly recovered, yet what makes it so endearing? Those sales - they're better signed than its southern counterpart. Also, it seems like they have sales that the South outlet store just either doesn't have or doesn't advertise.
I'll brave the crowds and the digging when it comes to fashion. BR holds witness to this...multiple times.
