My daugther, sister and I used to go to the Fraser Outlet once or twice a year prior to the pandemic.  It was about an hour and a half drive away, but we enjoyed the day shopping and having lunch out somewhere nearby.   

Just curious if anyone has gone there recently?  If so, has anything changed.  We haven't been there in almost 2 years.

We were to Fraser and Lancaster last September and Lancaster more recently too.  They are only allowing a certain number of people in the store at a time, and there is security at the door counting people in and out.  When we were there, the dressing rooms were not open and they asked that no one try on shoes.  Both stores had a LOT of clothing items.  They both have a lot of purses. Lancaster has a mediocre selection of jewelry, from costume to gold and silver.  I didn't check Fraser's jewelry selection.  Both stores are kept much neater and cleaner than they have been in the past.  It's definitely hit and miss - sometimes I find a lot that interests me, sometimes I walk out empty handed.

I agree with @AnnieBelle . I last visited Frazer in February and may return next weekend, weather permitting. I go may 3-4 times a year. Also a day trip for me. Jewelry is usually not worth even looking at, although on my last visit I picked up a beautiful blue topaz/SS ring and a Linea necklace and earring set. Both were like 80% off.

Tons of clothes and handbags (I bought none). Store was cleaner than usual.

I would like to go to the Lancaster store, would have to be a weekend trip. When I was there 5 years ago it was a disaster.  Store too small for the amount of inventory, and is wasn’t the cleanest.  Sounds like maybe they have improved.  I bought zero there.  

We’ve gone to numerous shows in the Lancaster area.  It’s a nice area.  (Only time I was in a Christmas tree Shoppe also).
