Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets

11211 120th Ave., Pleasant Prairie

Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets, near the Wisconsin-Illinois state line off I-94, is Wisconsin’s largest outlet destination. With more than twice the stores of Johnson Creek, serious outlet shoppers will be in heaven when visiting Pleasant Prairie. From classic clothing and shoe brands to harder-to-find outlets like Tumi, Ghirardelli Chocolate, J.Crew, La Coste, and Sperry, this outlet mall has enough stores to spend a full day!

The Shops at Oshkosh

3001 S Washburn St., Oshkosh

The Shops at Oshkosh may be small, but they still cover the bases. With major athletic brands like Nike and Under Armour, and designer brands like Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, and Coach, The Shops is an efficient stop for anyone in the Fox Valley.

Outlets at the Dells

210 N Gasser Rd., Baraboo

Outlets at the Dells is a solid middle ground: it’s not quite as big as Pleasant Prairie but has noticeably more options that Johnson Creek and The Shops. It’s also located near plenty of restaurants and hotels, as the Dells are just a few miles away. Check out fun stores like Drink Wisconsinbly, Dells Moonshine Co., and Pepper Palace. 

New Richmond Outlet

732 N Knowles Ave., New Richmond

It’s easy to miss the New Richmond Outlet if you aren’t looking for it. The building is relatively small, but well-organized with various types of overstock and clearance merchandise. Think of it as a small TJ Maxx with last season’s Target clothing, shoes, make-up, toys, and home decor for sale. 

Spooner Outlet 

209 Walnut St., Spooner 

Northeastern Wisconsin bargain shoppers have a local gem in their neck of the woods! The Spooner Outlet is a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts– with special deals on hunting and fishing equipment, boots, and other cold-weather must-haves.
