Shopping at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets
Like the area surrounding any major city, the Boston suburbs offer shoppers quite a few malls. But where can you go if you want discounted prices? Do you need to trek all the way up to Kittery, Maine to find outlet deals? No, you don’t. Before you head north of the Massachusetts border, check out the buys to be found at Wrentham Village Premium Outlets, where you can shop for deals at outlet stores for The Gap, Nike, Bass, and a lot more.
Location. Wrentham Village Premium Outlets are located on their own street: One Premium Outlet Blvd in Wrentham, MA. The development is located at the intersection of Rte 1 and I-495. Coming north or south, visitors take exit 15 off I-495 to reach the outlets. It’s an open-air venue, with stores arranged in an easy mall-like formation. Parking is ample, but in peak seasons, especially around Christmas, the place is absolutely hopping and finding a place to park can still be a problem.
So what can you get there? Well, there are 170 stores at Wrentham Village, so, it might be more helpful to ask: what are you looking for?

Eating. Traditionally, The Wrentham Village Premium Outlets were not the best place for eating. The food court had a pizza place, a sandwich shop, but nothing by way of traditional fast food or nicer places to stop and have lunch. Things have recently changed. The last few years have brought a Friendly’s, a Ruby Tuesdays, and new restaurants are being built onsite.
