Toronto Premium Outlets: Tennis Interest

August 17, 2013

As our friends at Toronto Trends informed earlier this month, the Toronto Premium Outlets, GTA's new luxury-for-less destination, opened its doors to the public on August 1. After my unsucessful attempt to attend the grand opening (read: spending 2 hours to get there just to find no parking spots available), I decided to get it another shot earlier today. Understandably, the traffic issues were gone but finding a convenient parking space still remains an issue.

The store themselves offer some excellent discounts although inventory in some of the most sought-after stores like adidas and Nike leaves a lot to be desired. The stores are small and the choice of styles extremely limited. If you, like me, are a tennis player, don't count on finding any tennis apparel in any of the aforementioned stores (unless you count one style of Barricades - team version - from a number of seasons back). Disappointing for a store with huge Andy Murray and Caroline Wozniacki banners over the shoe section.

Fortunately, the Lacoste Outlet should be joining the line-up of stores soon. Hopefully their product availability will be kinder to the Toronto-area tennis players.

Here are a few visuals. More after the jump.
