Simon Celebrates Armed Forces at Minneapolis-area Premium Outlets

Simon celebrates members of Armed Forces with Military Appreciation Programming at Minneapolis-area Premium Outlets

Albertville Premium Outlets and Twin Cities Premium Outlets today announced ongoing programming to show appreciation and support for servicemen and women in local communities. The centers are owned and operated by Simon, a global leader in premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations.

More than 200 Simon Malls, Mills and Premium Outlets centers, including Albertville Premium Outlets and Twin Cities Premium Outlets, now offer a military discount and signage program that highlights participating brands where exclusive, year-round special offers are available. Special parking reserved exclusively for veterans are also available at both centers.

“We’re extremely grateful for the selfless sacrifices made by the servicemen and women in our communities, and it’s an honor to be able to serve them,” said Sarah Dorrian Smith, Area Director of Marketing. “We know that small gestures can make a big difference and the centers are pleased to offer ongoing support for military members and their families. We have a commitment to seeking ways to honor and recognize these heroes.”
