Simon Premium Outlets Awarded Certificate of Excellence

Merrimack Premium Outlets were one of the three Simon Premium Outlet centers to receive this prestigious award

Simon Property Group Inc., a global leader in the retail real estate industry, announced today that Wrentham Village Premium Outlets, Merrimack Premium Outlets, and Lee Premium Outlets have been awarded the 2015 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. In order to qualify for this prestigious award, a business must maintain an average TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews, and have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.

“We are very proud that three of our New England Premium Outlet centers have been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence,” said Christine Greak, Regional Vice President of Marketing for Northeast Premium Outlets. “At Simon Premium Outlets we strive to provide our customers both local and those who are visiting us from a distance, with the best possible shopping experience, while receiving exceptional savings. This honor is a wonderful acknowledgement of our continued commitment to top quality customer service.”

TripAdvisor uses a proprietary process that determines the honorees for the Certificate of Excellence and takes into account the quality, quantity, and recency of reviews and opinions submitted by travelers on TripAdvisor over a yearlong period. It also considers the business’s tenure and ranking on the site’s popularity index.
