GLENDALE, AZ - Glendale has been chosen as the location for the newest outlet mall to be built in Arizona.
Tanger Outlet Center Westgate will include 85 brand name outlet stores within walking distance of Westgate City Center, Jobing.com Arena and the University of Phoenix Stadium near Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue.
The open-air mall is expected to be ready for business in the fall, according to a City of Glendale news release.
The project is expected to bring more than 700 jobs during construction.
"Tanger's new location in Glendale means new jobs, new brand name shopping opportunities for residents and tourists and an increase in tax revenue for the city," said Glendale City Manager Ed Beasley.
Officials say the shopping mall will create 900 full and part-time retail jobs when it opens.
Names of the specific designer outlets and brands will be announced at the official groundbreaking in March.
