History
Initially costing $20 million, Woodburn Company Stores opened with 243,000 square feet (22,600 m2) of retail space in August 1999. Round-trip fare was $20. After low demand during that trial period, the service was discontinued.
The center added another 27,402 square feet (2,545.7 m2) of space costing $5.1 million opened in February 2009. Its last expansion, consisting of public restrooms and 16 retail spaces, broke ground in February 2012 and opened seven months later.[7] Costing $10 million, it added 38,569 square feet (3,583.2 m2) for a final total area of 388,378 square feet (36,081.5 m2) for the center.[8] The company S.D. Deacon has been the general contractor of the mall's construction during all phases. For the Christmas holiday shopping season in 2012, the center reached 100% occupancy.[9] In 2012, the center had its highest total of visitors in its history, with 4.5 million people visiting the center.[10] Simon Property Group bought the center in June 2013 from developer Craig Realty Group and changed the name from Woodburn Company Stores to Woodburn Premium Outlets.[11]
The outlet is the largest tax-free shopping outlet in the Western United States.
