Interstate 75 carries Atlanta traffic south toward Macon and the Florida state line, and Tanger Locust Grove sits directly on that run at 1000 Tanger Drive, 30 miles from Atlanta and 45 miles from Macon. Tanger markets the property as Tanger Outlets Atlanta and operates it as one of two company centers in the Atlanta market. The operator reports 321,000 square feet of gross leasable area against a metropolitan statistical area population of 6.3 million.
Tanger’s published trade area work, sourced to ESRI 2024 demographics, 2024 Alexander Babbage trade areas and 2024 Placer.ai foot traffic, puts the drawing population at 3.0 million across 1.1 million households, average household income at $99,000 and annual visits at 2.3 million. The operator describes the location as positioned to capture both the greater Atlanta metropolitan area and southbound interstate travelers, which is a two-stream demand structure rather than a suburban catchment alone.
Coach, Kate Spade New York, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Polo Ralph Lauren hold the designer floor, with Brooks Brothers Factory Store and Ann Taylor Factory Store on tailored apparel and Banana Republic Factory, Express Factory Outlet, Chico’s Outlet and Lane Bryant Outlet across the women’s floor. Nike Factory Store, New Balance Factory Store, Adidas, Puma Outlet, Under Armour and Columbia Factory Store carry athletic and outerwear, and Mountain High Outfitters is the outdoor specialist. Footwear is the deepest category on the floor plan, running through Clarks Outlet, Crocs, HEYDUDE, Journeys, Skechers, Famous Footwear Outlet, Rack Room Shoes and Desire Sneakers. Tanger tags only two concepts as homegoods, Bath and Body Works and Simply Southern, and neither is a dedicated home store.
Tanger publishes its own category counts for the center: women’s apparel 36, accessories and jewelry 30, footwear 25, men’s apparel 24, children’s apparel 20, outerwear 16, athletic wear 11, specialty 10, food and drink 5, beauty 4, homegoods 2, entertainment 0 and services 0. Those are the operator’s taxonomy rather than a market read. Across 65 stores they describe a center weighted to apparel and accessories with a five-unit food program running through Denny’s, HoneyBaked Ham and Cafe, Great American Cookies, Pita Mediterranean Street Food and Maui Wowi. Six units trade under names specific to this center rather than a national banner: All Star Elite, Atlanta Suit Outlet, College Collectibles, Dernier Cri Gowns, Desire Sneakers and Miss A. Lids is listed as temporarily closed.
