Crossville Outlet Center

Crossville Outlet Center is a shopping mall located at 228 Interstate Drive in Crossville, Tennessee, a city situated roughly midway between Nashville and Knoxville. The mall occupies a 151,000-square-foot enclosed space on 12 acres of highly visible real estate near Interstate highways, making it accessible to travelers and locals alike. Crossville itself is known as a gateway to the scenic Cumberland Plateau region, popular for outdoor recreation and natural attractions, though the mall area is more commercial and suburban rather than tourist-centric or coastal.

The outlet center historically housed a variety of retail stores, primarily focusing on fashion and apparel brands, including well-known names like Vanity Fair, Hanes, and Lee. The store mix has included clothing for men, women, and children, footwear, and some specialty shops such as kitchen gadgets and thrift stores. However, in recent years, many popular outlet stores have closed or relocated, leading to a significant reduction in the number of active retailers within the mall. This decline has affected the mall’s appeal as a shopping destination.

Services at Crossville Outlet Center include ample parking facilities and basic amenities typical of enclosed malls. Food options and dining facilities appear limited, with no notable food courts or restaurants prominently mentioned. The mall’s operating hours generally align with standard retail schedules, though specific times may vary by store. Overall, while the mall once offered a broad selection of outlet shopping, its current retail environment is diminished, with fewer stores and less variety available compared to its peak years.
