Ellenton Premium Outlets sits at Interstate 75 and US-301 in Manatee County, positioned at the geographic midpoint between Tampa and Sarasota — a location that captures outlet-motivated traffic from both metropolitan areas and from the I-75 tourist corridor connecting the Orlando resort market to Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast destinations. Simon Property Group operates the approximately 477,000 square foot open-air outlet centre as a Simon Premium Outlets property.
Saks OFF 5TH anchors the department store off-price tier. The luxury and accessible-premium outlet register runs through Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Polo Ralph Lauren. The fashion outlet circuit covers Brooks Brothers, J.Crew, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s, Banana Republic Factory, LOFT, Talbots, Lucky Brand, Gap, and Old Navy. The sports and performance outlet tier includes Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, New Balance, Columbia, ASICS, and Merrell. Cole Haan, Clarks, Johnston and Murphy Factory, and Rack Room Shoes anchor the footwear category. Dooney and Bourke and Samsonite cover the accessories outlet position.
The Manatee County location draws from the Sarasota-Bradenton metropolitan area of approximately 850,000 residents to the south and from the Tampa Bay metropolitan area of approximately 3.2 million to the north, with the I-75 corridor providing consistent transit traffic from tourists and snowbirds travelling between Central Florida and the Gulf Coast. The Ellenton and Palmetto communities provide the immediate residential base.
For brands evaluating West Central Florida outlet presence, Ellenton Premium Outlets is the primary Simon-network outlet centre between Tampa’s urban market and the Fort Myers-Naples corridor, capturing the full I-75 corridor traffic flow in a market gap not served by competing premium outlet properties at equivalent distance from Tampa Bay.
Cafes, coffee and snacks at the property include Starbucks and Auntie Anne's.
