What is "real" outlet shopping?

tarfan24

There are (or were, been a few years) outlet shops south of Tampa/st pete at the Ellington exit off I-75.

Ellenton and further Ft Myers is the same side of the state as St Pete

Real outlets are at the factories, and most of those have gone overseas.

Ellenton will be the nearest to St. Pete. Whether it's real enough I have no idea, sorry!

I believe there is a quite large outlet center just east of the bridge to Sanibel.

St. Pete to Ft. Myers is a couple hours drive; for me, that wouldn't be what I would consider "in the area" or worth driving all that way.

There are so-called "outlet malls" all over Florida. I think I understand your question about them being "real" - and no, they are basically not, IMO. But if you are interested, the Premium Outlets in Ellenton is the closest I can think of, about 30 minutes or so drive (not considering traffic).
