Tanger Outlets Charleston has completed an extensive renovation that blends tradition with innovation to deliver an elevated guest experience for the community. In addition to finding their favorite brands and local shops, guests can now enjoy new gathering and event spaces, comfortable dining amenities and modernized exteriors that honor Charleston’s rich heritage while embracing a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.
“Tanger Charleston is a cornerstone of our community, offering visitors a vibrant and welcoming destination to shop, dine and enjoy life together,” said Andrea Gervacio, Marketing Director of Tanger Charleston. “Our renovation has been carefully planned to enhance this experience, inviting guests to stay a little longer, discover new amenities and enjoy the thoughtfully designed communal spaces throughout the center.”
The project introduces dynamic areas dedicated to entertainment, dining, inclusive play and more. The new Play Park—located near SAKS Off 5th and Banana Republic—adds shade, play space and dining tables for a family-friendly atmosphere, while the new Center Court Lawn offers a relaxing environment for large, community events year-round.
Cosmetic upgrades span the 386,000-square-foot property and include updated signage, refreshed paintwork and contemporary lighting fixtures inspired by Charleston’s iconic gas lanterns. Guests will also notice revitalized landscaping and enhanced hardscape elements, which elevate the center’s style and create a warm and welcoming ambiance day or night. New sustainable offerings at Tanger Charleston include solar canopies in the parking lot and newly installed rooftop solar panels.
To officially unveil the newly renovated property, Tanger Charleston will host a community celebration, sponsored by Arcsmart LLC, on Thursday, Sept. 4, from 4 – 6 p.m., featuring live music, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, light bites, refreshments, family activities, center tours and more.
Following the grand unveiling, guests can enjoy a series of special events throughout the weekend. On Friday, Sept. 5, from 5 – 7 p.m. at Center Court, visitors can experience “Friday Unplugged,” featuring live music from the Cooper River Band, refreshing mocktails and exclusive TangerClub perks. On Saturday, Sept. 6, from noon – 3 p.m., the “Spin to Win Saturday” event will take place by the Tanger Charleston Monument near H&M, offering music, TangerClub perks and chances to win prizes every hour. Finally, on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 1–3 p.m., the Play Park by Saks Off 5th will come alive with ‘Sunday Funday,’ featuring family-friendly character meet-and-greets, live music and exclusive TangerClub perks.
Throughout the weekend, guests can celebrate the season with festive photo ops, enjoy complimentary fall treats and step inside a life-size inflatable handbag to “catch the savings” with special giveaways and TangerClub rewards.
Tanger Charleston’s latest brand additions include Kate Spade, Pandora, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora and HEYDUDE. Set to open soon are the highly anticipated lululemon pop-up, Shake Shack, The Children’s Place and Auntie Anne’s | Jamba Juice, adding even more food and fashion options to the center.
