nial design concept. What an amazing setting on the Marblehead bluff too! As a former re- tailer, I see nothing but success for that center. Congratulations to anyone and everyone who had a hand in guiding this project to what it is going to be. I, like everyone else, am eager to begin experiencing the ‘fruits’ of too many years of planning.” As to outlet stores - According to
Wikipedia, “An outlet store or factory outlet is a brick and mortar or online retail stores in which manufacturers sell their stock directly to the public.” Outlets, supposedly, offer a greater value on prices as compared to full price retail. They started in the 1930s, gained strength in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and, last year, there were 472 outlet malls throughout the U.S.
The Craig Realty Group has built 12 outlet
complexes in six states: Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado, Utah, and Minnesota. It is currently developing seven more in Hawaii, Illinois, Ohio, Washington, Virginia, New Jer- sey, and California. Of note is that one of the outlets, Phoenix, Arizona, last year, had the tallest “fake” Christmas tree in a U.S. mall - a 110 foot white fir. To guess the names of some of the outlet stores which may land in San Clemente, one must look at some of the stores in other Craig-garnered locations.

Clemente can be proud of this great new asset to the community. Like the Beach Trail, the Vista Hermosa Sports Park, Down- town on Del Mar and El Camino Real, and the Pier Bowl, this will be a place where San Clementeans will not only go them-
selves, but they will take their friends and rela- tives when they come to town to show them what a wonderful place we live in.” ❂
