Outlets expected to draw Omaha, Lincoln shoppers Nebraska Crossing to offer 50 shops By Trish Mooney Staff Reporter Students traveling between Oma ha and Lincoln will be able to do their shopping en route following the Oct. 22 grand opening of Nebraska Cross ing Factory Stores. The new mall may not have the glitz of Gateway Mall in Lincoln or Oakview Mall in Omaha. But Miki Edwards, outlet mall manager, said it had more than 50 factory stores offer ing 20 to 70 percent off retail prices. -w—^ Edwards said the outlet mall fea tured stores that would cater to the tastes of almost any customer. The new mall drew outlets such as Florsheims, Natural izer, Van Hussen, Team Spirit, Champions, Westport Ltd. ana Bugle Boy. Several of the other outlet stores will specialize in homewares, toys, and paper products. But because of the mail’s proxim ity to retail stores in Omaha and Lin coln, the mall wasn’t able to draw names such as Liz Claiborne or the Gap. Edwards said the location of the mall between the two cities, however, had other benefits. Most outlet stores are located at least 60 miles from metropolitan ar eas, she said. Such malls get 80 per cent of their business from travelers who stop at the malls to look around. Because NebraskaCrossing isonly 35 miles from Lincoln and about 15 miles from Omaha, Edwards said more customers would be drawn there from retail malls to do their shopping. Edwards said she expected only 50 percent of the mail’s business would come from shoppers traveling through Nebraska and the rest would be drawn from Lincoln and Omaha. Outlet shoppers have driven as far as Nebraska City in the past to find bargains, Edwards said. Robert Brownlee, district manag er for Toy Liquidators, said if Omaha and Lincoln shoppers would make the hour-long trip to Nebraska City’s out lets, many more should take the quick drive to the new outlet mall. Many other store managers said they were optimistic about the loca tion. “I think it will be a really good mall. It’s a great spot, between Lin coln and Omaha — a lot of interstate traffic, a lot of local traffic,” said Mark Harris, manager of Large Fash ions outlet at the mall. “And, of course, there’s the pric es,” he said. “The whole focus is price. That’s what we’re offering.” But the bargain prices of items might keep students from making fre quent stops at the mall, Edwards said. College and high school students have more expendable income to buy designer clothing at retail stores, she said. “They are more willing to,pay $80 dollars for a pair of jeans,” she said. In addition, many students don’t have cars to drive to the mall, she said. Although the grand opening is planned for Oct. 22, some stores, such as the Bugle Boy outlet, will open on Oct. 8. Store managers said their indi vidual opening elates depended on whether they were stocked and ready for customers.

The central emphasis of the fair is to make the university community aware of personal health conditions, La Beau said. “Our main focus in holding the Health Fair is health maintenance and prevention,” he said.
