Throughout the years, the city of Carson has been evolving, with more buildings, cafes, and now an outlet. The outlet will be called the Los Angeles Premium Outlets. With Carson being renovated, an outlet can be one of the new places locals can head to. As the project for the new outlet is in work, the city plans for $400 million. According to the Los Angeles Daily News, the outlet will be 400,000 square feet and will open in the fall of 2021. There are a lot of empty spaces in Carson and an outlet is a good way to fill up the land. Since the NFL Stadium was a failed proposal, having an outlet was a second choice. Macerich is a Real Estate Investment Trust that is teaming up with Simon Property Group which is also a real estate company to build the mall.
Ana Tuigaleava Carson High School senior stated, “The only other mall in Carson is South Bay Pavilion and we all know that it’s not all that so maybe the outlet will be better. I don’t think that this new outlet is necessary. I feel like the stadium would have been better. An outlet mall is the best choice because an outlet has a variety of shops. The outlet would bring more shoppers.”
Quran Ali CHS senior added, “The new outlet mall is needed so Carson citizens can get better deals on products. I think it is a very good idea because Carson needs more stores. Outlets have better deals than regular stores, so more people will go. It will bring more people or tourists to Carson.”
The outlet is also a great idea due to the fact that Carson is a small city and has enough to offer and since an outlet is out for plan, many locals around Carson, Torrance, Long Beach, etc have a chance of shopping somewhere close to their homes instead of driving all the way to Los Angeles. The outlet can make transportation for people a lot easier and it can give Carson a better surface.
