Empire Outlets Opens in Staten Island, New York

By Ryan Gumb

Shopping on Staten Island just got a whole lot more interesting and way more fun, thanks to the newly opened Empire Outlets. Located right next to the Staten Island Ferry terminal, these outdoor outlets provide Staten Islanders, and visitors, a shopping experience that they have never had access to. In fact, the Empire Outlets are not only the first outlet shopping destination on Staten Island, but also the first outlet shopping destination in New York City. This unique distinction is what makes the Empire Outlets so important to the people of Staten Island and New York City. Gone are the days of trekking out to New Jersey to shop at the outlets. Instead, Staten Island has chosen to implement a change that will greatly benefit the borough and bring commerce back to the Island!

Shoppers will have a variety of different stores to choose from. Whether you are looking for clothing, accessories, or even food, you will be able to find what you need at the Empire Outlets. The outlets features large stores like American Eagle, Banana Republic, Old Navy, H&M, Haagen-Dazs, Starbucks, and many more. In fact, several stores are still yet to open, so be on the lookout for Converse, Jewelers On Fifth, and Shake Shack.

So come on, Staten Island! Get out to the Empire Outlets ASAP and take advantage of this new shopping experience that is completely unique to Staten Island and New York City, and show everybody what this borough is all about!
