Greensboro, N.C. -- Tanger Factory Outlet Centers and Foxwoods Resort Casino announced that Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods will celebrate the new center's grand opening on Thursday, May 21 kicking off at 10 a.m. with an official ribbon cutting hosted by Drew and Jonathan from the hit show, Property Brothers. The festivities will include a design workshop with the Property Brothers, an Instagram Tech Lounge, as well as special savings and giveaways.
"We are very pleased to add Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods to our portfolio of successful retail and destination properties. With millions of annual visitors, Foxwoods is the ideal location for Tanger Outlet's first development linked to a casino," said Steven B. Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlets.
As part of the May 21 grand opening celebrations, Tanger will offer shoppers a chance to meet and greet Jonathan and Drew, as well as attend an exclusive workshop where the brothers will share design-on-a-budget advice.
