I'm Emily Reynolds, co-founder of OutletsNewJersey.com. Based in Central New Jersey, I've been shopping NJ's outlets and malls since 2013 — from Jersey Gardens and Woodbury Common to the Mall at Short Hills. I write all the guides and store directories on this site, and I verify the information on regular visits. My focus is on honest, practical advice: real hours, accurate store lists, and tips that actually help you save money. OutletsNewJersey.com is independent — not affiliated with any mall or brand.
