Off topic, we did learn that although apparel manufacturers sometimes manufacture products to sell only at outlet malls, sales staffs are aware of the genesis of different products. All you have to do is ask.
Stores in both malls appear to be offering hellacious, come-see-us, enticement deals this weekend. G.H. Bass & Co, for example, has put its entire store on sale, at savings up to 75% off, leaving you plenty of cash for a pretzel dog and a Kiwi Strawberry Granita.
