Taubman Prestige Outlets Chesterfield, one of the two new highly anticipated outlet malls under construction in the area, has moved their opening date up from October 24, 2013 to August 2, 2013 to coincide with Missouri's back-to-school sales tax holiday weekend.
“We are accelerating our construction process to ensure that area residents and tourists alike can shop during one of the most important shopping weekends of the year,” said Taubman’s chief operating officer William Taubman, in a press release. “This is also a great advantage for our retailers providing them the ability to be open during the second busiest shopping season of the year."
Taubman plans to open Phase One of the 450,000-square-foot shopping center, which will feature close to 80 stores, at the grand opening. An additional 30 to 40 stores are slated to open in spring 2014.

• Banana Republic Factory Store • Gap Outlet • J.Crew Factory • Furla • Anne Fontaine • Brooks Brothers Factory Store • 2b Bebe • American Eagle Outfitters - Off Campus • Lucky Brand Jeans • Nine West • Ed Hardy • Body Shop • Jones New York • Carter’s • Designer Fragrance Outlet • Easy Spirit • Elegante • Famous Footwear • Hot Topic • Kasper • Thomas Sabo • Aerosoles • Bachrach Outlet • Kitchen Collection • Maidenform • Motherhood Maternity • Ultra Diamonds • Naturalizer • Osh Kosh B’gosh • Billabong • Mikino/Mikino Men’s • Gloria Jean’s Coffee • Robert Wayne • Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory • Saucony • T-Mobile • Things Remembered • Sunglass Hut • Time Center USA • AT&T
