The 3 Best Outlet Stores Around Utah County

Outlet shopping marries bargain hunting with brand discovery—no wonder U.S. consumers spent over $40 billion at outlet centers in 2023, seeking discounts on everything from apparel to home goods (International Council of Shopping Centers, 2024). Whether you’re tracking down last season’s sneakers or stocking up on fresh-baked breads, Utah Valley’s Best Outlet Store finalists deliver deals and variety under one roof (or behind one storefront).

Outlets At Traverse Mountain

The Outlets At Traverse Mountain in Lehi gather over 80 brand-name stores—everything from designer denim to athletic wear—along a pedestrian-friendly promenade. Seasonal events like “Midnight Madness” flash sales and surprise giveaways keep shoppers returning for markdowns on high-end labels. Ample seating areas, a food-court lineup and free shuttle service from nearby Park & Ride lots make marathon shopping sessions manageable.

NPS Store

The NPS Store in Orem offers official National Park Service merchandise—apparel, patches, guidebooks and souvenirs—for the region’s outdoor enthusiasts. Housed near major trailheads, the store stocks maps, field guides and eco-friendly gifts that celebrate America’s parklands. Profits in part support park programs, so every purchase contributes to conservation and education efforts beyond Utah’s borders.

Franz Bakery Outlet Store

Franz Bakery’s Provo outlet turns fresh-baked goods into everyday steals. You’ll find day-old loaves, discounted pastries and clearance bakery-case items at up to 70 percent off retail prices. Their early morning restocks bring croissants, sourdough and cinnamon rolls still soft under their paper wrappings. The outlet also carries frozen par-baked breads and seasonal specialty loaves—ideal for stocking home freezers or feeding large gatherings on a budget.
