Does the merchandise sold in outlet stores come from retail stores or is it manufactured just for outlet stores?

Check the tags, advises The Consumerist in the article ”Outlet Stores May Not Be What You Think They Are.” Items from previous seasons or overstock from retail stores will have their tags marked, removed, or cut.

And, compare prices. The outlet price might not be cheaper than other stores.
