My family and I waited and we finally got to go to the Monroe outlet mall. We waited thinking that after a while the crowds would die down and shopping would be easier than fighting our way through a crowd of people. WoW ! Was I in for a shock. For starters I was right to wait,there was hardly anyone there. Secondly the mall was not impressive at all. I tried to imagine thousands of people getting through the only entrances and I actually got nervous just thinking of it. The stores are so small I'm lucky no one else was there because I'm claustrophobic. The layout of the parking is beyond ridiculous. As for cheap or discounted prices,I waited until I got home and ordered it from the internet.
