Tanger Foley records 4.0 million annual visits against an MSA population of 248,576 and a much broader 3.9 million-person trade area, a gap consistent with the tourism role Tanger assigns to Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
The center sits at 2601 S McKenzie Street in Foley, Alabama, near State Highway 59, the road carrying Gulf Shores and Orange Beach traffic. Tanger reports 555,000 square feet of gross leasable area and lists Pensacola and Mobile each at 30 miles. Published trade area figures, sourced to a 2024 Alexander Babbage 75 percent trade area, give a drawing population of 3.9 million across 1.5 million households at an average income of $103,000. The operator describes the surrounding area as the top tourist destination in the state of Alabama.
Two tenant clusters align with the visitor-oriented market Tanger describes. HUK, Merrell, Columbia, Mountain High Outfitters, Southern Marsh, Simply Southern, Palmetto Moon, Girlie Girl Originals and Sand Dollar Lifestyles create a substantial coastal and outdoor lifestyle layer. Rawlings, Perfect Game and Pro Image Sports align with the youth-sports demand Tanger highlights for the area. The premium tier runs through Coach, Kate Spade New York, Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Bahama, Talbots Outlet, White House Black Market, Ann Taylor Factory Store and Loft Outlet, while T.J.Maxx and Burlington Brands add off-price volume.
Alongside the national banners, the directory carries a set of smaller and specialty operators trading throughout the center: EverLily, Good Dog Boutique, St. Nick’s Knife Factory, Monet Candle Company, Southern Muscle Factory, Sand Dollar Lifestyles and The Fudgery. Food and drink includes Baumhower’s Victory Grille, Rock N Roll Sushi, Starbucks Coffee, Peachwave Self Serve Yogurt and Wetzel’s Pretzels. Services also occupy inline space through LensCrafters, GNC, Cellphone and Tablets Repair and The Uniform Outlet.
