Stanley Tanger, a longtime Greensboro resident and noted philanthropist, founded the outlet center shopping industry. He built his discount retail empire — and the very concept of the outlet mall — from a single shopping center in Burlington. Tanger Outlets, now run by his son, Steven, grossed $270 million last year. One of its newest center's is off Interstate 85 in Mebane.
Tanger died last October.
The City Council approved the honorary move during its March 1 meeting. Signpost toppers were placed at Hobbs Road intersections, from Starmount Farms Drive, near the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden, to Jefferson Road and Temple Emanuel, last week.
The honorary street name does not change the permanent street name and residents will not need to change their address.
