  •  About the Merrimack Outlets->

    80 Premium Outlets Blvd   Merrimack, NH 

    The Merrimack Premium Outlets is an outdoor shopping center located 35 miles northwest of Boston and easily accessible off Exit 10 of Everett Turnpike (RT 3 from Boston). The mall offers tax free shopping including Bloomingdale's Outlet Store, Coach, J.Crew Factory, kate spade new york, Michael Kors, Nautica, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, Sunglass Hut, Tory Burch, Theory, Under Armour and more all at savings of 25%-65% everyday.

    The outlets' shopping traffic is busy and a perfect quick stop right off the highway for a little tax-free discounted shopping!  ...and soon they will have the opportunity to pick up some handmade, handcrafted wares!  All stores are in full compliance with CDC and State COVID guidelines.  We will go above and beyond to ensure our show is as safe as possible.
