Opitz Outlet in Minneapolis, MN 55416

Opitz isn't the place to go when you need to find something fast, but if you've got some free time, you're likely to gather an armload of bargains to make your visit worthwhile. With brands like Abercrombie, Diesel, Delia's, Timberland, Steve Madden, Coach, Anne Klein, and Versace, it might also be one of the few places (outside of department stores) where parents and teens can shop for themselves under the same roof! Toddler and children's sizes are available only sporadically.

First-quality upscale and designer duds - all at least 70% off retail! - are crammed onto no-frills racks in the no-frills store (which, no surprise, features a no-frills changing room). The goods are sorted by type of item - pants, tops, dresses, coats, etc. - then color, then size. There's only one of many items, making for an enormous and varied selection of quality clothing for Juniors, Women, and Men. The original tags are still on, so you can really appreciate how much you're saving. A large selection of shoes - from sneakers and boots to pumps and sandals - and some jewelry, sunglasses, and purses round out the available deals. Occasionally, the store also sets out an odd lot's worth of housewares, bedding, rugs, or other bargain merchandise. The deals on outerwear, footwear, and high-end jeans are particularly good.
