Queenstown, Maryland, on US Route 50 at the Queen Anne’s County exit for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, positions Queenstown Premium Outlets on the driving corridor connecting Washington DC and Baltimore to the Ocean City, Maryland, and Delaware beach markets across the Chesapeake Bay. The seasonal traffic that generates outlet shopping visits from beach-bound travelers gives the 289,000 square foot Simon property a dual-market catchment: the DC and Baltimore consumer heading to or from the shore, and the Eastern Shore Maryland and Delaware resident base that the US-50 corridor serves year-round.
The accessible luxury outlet tier runs Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Polo Ralph Lauren. St. John, the California-founded knitwear and luxury women’s fashion brand, gives the property an elevated outlet position above the standard mid-market outlet register alongside Tommy Bahama Outlet and Vineyard Vines for the coastal and vacation lifestyle fashion register. Brooks Brothers, Chico’s, Eddie Bauer, Gap, J. Crew, LOFT, Nautica, Old Navy, Tommy Hilfiger, and White House Black Market Outlet serve the mid-market fashion outlet floor. Adidas, Columbia, Merrell, Nike, Skechers, and Under Armour cover the sportswear outlet register.
Banana Republic Factory, Talbots, and Johnston and Murphy Factory serve the professional and heritage fashion outlet positions. Bath and Body Works covers the accessible beauty and home fragrance category. Kay Jewelers serves the jewelry floor. The property’s commercial case rests on the US-50 geography: the Route 50 exit at Queenstown places the outlet on the primary driving route for DC metro and Baltimore consumers whose beach trip crosses the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, converting the outlet visit from a planned destination trip into an opportunistic stop on a seasonal journey that the Eastern Seaboard beach economy generates from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
