American Eagle and Saks opening at Tanger Outlets in Charleston

The Post and Courier by  Warren Wise 

Saks Fifth Avenue might have left downtown Charleston, but the upscale merchant is not leaving the metro market completely.

The Off Fifth shop, which will become Saks' 59th such store, offers discount designer clothing and accessories for outlet shoppers at 40 percent to 70 percent off original and comparable prices.

Also coming to Tanger Outlet Center is American Eagle Outfitters. The trendy casual clothing shop plans to be in place by May, Benton said.

Speculation was that American Eagle would take over the large corner space Liz Claiborne is vacating at year's end, but Benton said the locations for American Eagle and Saks' Off Fifth store have not been determined and that stores could be moved around to accommodate them.

Saks' spokeswoman Julia Bentley declined to comment.
