The Outlet Mall is both a local hangout for teens as well as a source of minimum wage jobs for the area. The Outlets are a typical saturday getaway for people as far away as Avondale

America's Largest Christmas Tree Ploy
December 2010 the mall was home to the one of the nation’s largest Christmas trees, bringing crowds from the nearby metropolitan area, and the largest attendance the mall had ever seen during it's lighting ceremony. It was advertized in the newspapers, radio and television as "The Nations Largest" at 110 feet, this however was not true, as it was the largest in Arizona, but states like Oregon, Montana and Idaho had many outdoor malls featuring trees as tall as 140 feet. Nonetheless December of 2010 saw a boost in Outlet sales, attributing this success to the tree.
