Opened two years ago, the outlet center, owned by Simon Property Group, offers designer brands and retail stores close to home for northwest Houston residents. The center will now have a total of 145 stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, Joe’s Jeans, Armani Exchange, Lacoste, Esprit and Tumi.

“We are pleased to be expanding Houston Premium Outlets not only to fulfill merchant demand for space, but also to satisfy shoppers’ desire to have an even greater selection of brands at impressive savings,” said Michele Rothstein, senior vice president of marketing for Premium Outlets.

The new construction will create more than 500 jobs for the community and add more than 250 retail jobs.

“We are thrilled that our center is providing not only great outlet shopping, but is also supporting the community by creating new jobs and assisting in the overall economic growth for the area.”
