Opened in 2019, Empire Outlets is attracting thousands of visitors a day, and that's without the benefit of most of its yet-to-open restaurant and bar attractions, which are expected to further increase the amount of time — and money — visitors spend on the island. 

Hundreds of thousands of visitors from France, Germany, Denmark, Australia, Brazil and other countries scoop up bargains at the Outlets. 

The busiest days are Saturdays during the summer months.

On July 4th the Outlets are super-packed with people coming to watch the world-famous fireworks of lower Manhatten, just across the Hudson River. 

Overseas visitors now make up the bulk — or 65% — of all Empire Outlets spending, according to the city’s tourism bureau NYC & Co., which examined Visa credit card data. That’s helped push international spending on the island up by 47%, while total apparel spending has grown by 158%, NYC & Co.’s credit card data shows. 

Empire Outlets is New York's Boroughs only  outdoor outlet shopping destination. 

With an unobstructed view of the lower Manhatten skyline, the Outlets are connected to the Staten Island Ferry terminal with free service to and from Manhattan.

Approximately 20-25 vendors set up outdoor at the Waterfront Center Court at the Staten Island Ferry terminals.

Approximately 40-50 vendors set up outdoor at the second and third floor Center Courts.

Convenient escalators and elevators connect all three floors

The second floor Center Court has some shaded covered spaces.

All three Center Courts are well lit for night time selling.

Electric is available for vendors at no additional cost in a limited number of spaces on all three levels.

Please make sure to indicate if you need electric on your application.
