Classic high-end shopping in California’s interior

- BY LENORE GREINER

SURROUNDED BY THE SCENIC landscape of historic Tejon Ranch, the Outlets at Tejon offers residents, tourists and travelers a massive array of shopping in 365,000 square feet. Located on 43 acres along Interstate 5 nearly midway between Santa Clarita and Bakersfiel­d, the center is convenient to Los Angeles, Antelope Valley and the San Fernando Valley. And for those driving between Southern and Northern California, it’s a great place to stop for a break.

This mega-outlet center evokes the look and feel of the high-end outdoor lifestyle shopping centers normally found in California’s upscale coastal communitie­s. Shoppers can explore more than 60 top designer and value brands from fashion to footwear, jewelry to home goods and more.

Famous Brands

Amid shady landscapin­g and water features, stroll among famous brands such as Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Nike Factory Store, Coach Factory Store, H&M, Express, Old Navy, Columbia Sportswear, Samsonite and Pottery Barn. And plan to browse in comfort, rain or shine. Among the open-air courtyards with relaxing furniture and curving retail promenades, attractive canopies throughout completely shade the center’s breezeways, complement­ed by energy-efficient fans.

In the Hacienda Food Court and throughout the center, you can grab a pizza, burger, coffee and more in six eateries and cafés; you’ll also find convenient seating areas for resting weary feet, as well as large, plentiful restrooms. Kids, from toddlers to eight-yearolds, will love the play area found inside the food court. There, in a fun sitting area, they can tackle two interactiv­e wall puzzles or a climbable tower structure that has a slide. Or simply play on a butterfly, a bear cub or inside a climbable canoe. Parents will love the convenient power outlets for device charging.

Pet Friendly

Additional­ly, a pet-friendly atmosphere prevails at the Outlets at Tejon, which includes two grassy park areas and tons of pet-friendly stores. You’ll also find vending machines and ATMS throughout the center.

Easy to locate, the Outlets at Tejon stands next to a 101-foot-tall sign directing northbound and southbound shoppers along Interstate 5.
