Company Description
Originally the literal factory outlet for jeans maker VF Corporation, the site for the outlet mall began as a room with only curtains separating customers from the workers who turned out excessive amounts of VF products. Today, the company operates about 75 outlet centers in some 40 states, including Florida, Ohio, and Texas. VF Outlet stores sell jeans, sportswear, backpacks, swimwear, and children's clothing under the Coach, Dooney & Bourke, JanSport, Lee, Nautica, Vanity Fair, and Wrangler brands, among others. The original VF Outlet opened in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1970; the location is now an entire outlet mall complex called VF Outlet Village anchored by the VF store.
