Chico's opens at the Viejas Outlet Center

Felenstein, Was and Associates announced yesterday that Chico's had opened last month at the Viejas Outlet Center. In an exchange of emails with Jeffrey Was, Director of Leasing for Felenstein, Was and Associates he also informed me that Coach opened recently in the center.

The Viejas Outlet Center is just a short drive east of San Diego.

The center is across the street from the Viejas Casion. Both the casino and the outlet center are on an indian reservation. The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, one of the remaining 12 bands of the Kumeyaay Indian Nation, resides on a 1,600-acre reservation in the Viejas Valley, east of the community of Alpine in San Diego County, California. The Kumeyaay, referred to as Diegueño by the Spanish, were the original native inhabitants of San Diego County. The Kumeyaay, Yuman-speaking people of Hokan stock, have lived in this region for more than 10,000 years. Historically, the Kumeyaay were horticulturists and hunters and gatherers. They were the only Yuman group in the area and were the people who greeted the Spanish when they first sailed into San Diego Harbor with the Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo expedition of 1542.

In my opinion, Viejas has some of the nicest land scaping, common areas and center design of any center in the country; and I have personally been to over 150 outlet centers. Here are a few photos of the center, although they really don't do it justice.

Yes thats a working waterfall next to the Liz Claiborne store. I have had both London Fog and Perry Ellis stores here, although I do not currently have a Kids Supercenter in this location.
