As they roam across the United States, travelers have a plethora of shopping options awaiting them. Here, NTACourier.com details Michigan’s Great Lakes Crossing Outlets.

With an impressive 185 stores, restaurants, and attractions making up the Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, shoppers can discover things they can’t find anywhere else in Michigan.

The largest enclosed outlet mall in the state, Great Lakes Crossing is packed with on-trend brands as well as 25 stores and attractions that shoppers can find only there, including the Shinola, Disney, and Swarovski outlets, and SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium.

“A preferred retail destination among local and international travelers, the shopping center received the TripAdvisor 2018 Certificate of Excellence for earning outstanding consumer reviews,” says Marketing and Tourism Specialist Kristen Old.

The center features stores like Steve Madden, H & M, T.J. Maxx, and dozens of others that offer men’s and women’s clothing, accessories and jewelry, health and beauty products, and electronics. Visitors can dine in Michigan’s largest food court or in one of the four full-service restaurants. A fifth restaurant will open by the end of the year.

“We are easily accessible from the state’s busiest freeway (I-75) and are located between two exits with a mile of freeway exposure. We are only 30 miles north of Detroit and 50 miles south of Frankenmuth, making Great Lakes Crossing Outlets an easy add-on experience,” Old says.

Registered groups receive a Passport to Shopping discount booklet with coupons from more than 100 participating stores, eateries, and attractions. Group leaders and drivers receive a $5 gift card to a participating restaurant of their choice.
