Hey guys,

I'm thinking about driving down to the Philly area this weekend and want to do some shopping at an outlet mall. Are there any in the Philly area?? One that sells Polo Ralph Lauren and Nike wholesale would be very ideal, but not necessary. Also I'm trying not to go too far out of the way so if yall know any that's within...let's say an hours drive or 30-40 miles from Downtown Philly that would be sweet. Oh and I know that the Philly metro covers like 3 states so a place that has low sales tax would be good to Thanks in advance!

Not that I'm trying to take any business away from PA but per the OP's question:

There are the Shipyard Shops in downtown Wilimington DE. I don't know if they have all of the retailers you seek as I've never been there. But Delaware does have no sales tax. It should take less than an hour from Center City.

If you have a hankering for salty air and ocean breezes, The Walk in Atlantic City is an outlet-meets-town center area just north of the Boardwalk. Granted, that's about an hour and a half away. However, I believe that sales tax in NJ is higher than Philly and PA in general.

Thanks for the advice so far guys. Would anyone know if King of Prussia Mall is a good alternative? Looking at it on Google Maps, I wasn't aware that it was so close to Philly (less than 20 miles). What do you guys think of that place?

It is actually the largest mall in terms of retail space in the country, larger in retail sq footage than mall of America, the Philadelphia Outlets are about 15 minutes west of the mall itself, but the mall itself is not really outlets so to speak

I would say that Philly has a lot more than shopping to offer but the KOP Mall and the Phildelphia Outlets are both just a little West of the city

There are both Polo and Nike outlet stores at the Liberty Village Outlets in Flemington, NJ. It's about an hour outside of Philly.

Stretch the distance out to about 60 miles and head over to Tanger and Rockvale Outlet in Lancaster PA. I think it's worth the 1 hour drive from CC Philadelphia

There is no sales tax on clothing or shoes in NJ. Same in PA I believe. So if you are just shopping for clothes, no need to go to Delaware.
