Ann Taylor Factory Store to open at Monroe outlet center

An Ann Taylor Factory Store will soon join the lineup at Cincinnati Premium Outlets in Monroe, according to a spokeswoman for the shopping center.

The store will open later this summer, but representatives of the outlet mall did not share specifics of the opening date or what retailer it will replace. The Ann Taylor will be located in suite 885, near Under Armour, according to spokeswoman Gabby Deitsch.

Ann Taylor Factory is owned by the same company that also operates Ann Taylor and LOFT stores such as the LOFT storefront located at nearby The Streets of West Chester.

Meanwhile, shoppers are now able to snack on pretzels at one of two Auntie Anne’s now open at the outlets, according to Deitsch. One location is in suite 980, near Nike Factory Store and the newest location is in suite 934, near Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th.

“Having two locations will make it more convenient for shoppers,” Deitsch said.

Also this year at Cincinnati Premium Outlets, Motherhood Maternity opened this past spring; Under Armour expanded to carry a larger selection of youth, women’s and men’s apparel; and HanesBrands relocated to a newly remodeled store, she said.

Cincinnati Premium Outlets opened in 2009 at 400 Premium Outlets Drive in Monroe in Warren County. Occupancy rates are not disclosed by the owner Simon Property Group of Indianapolis, Deitsch said.

Ann Inc., the parent company of Ann Taylor and LOFT, did not respond to a media request for comment regarding the new location.
