I'm very sorry to see the Tanger Outlet in Mebane NC lose the QVC store. It was always very busy each time I stopped by, and I enjoyed finding great deals in there myself!
I called the Tanger Outler customer service to inquire and was told that QVC decided to close all of the "free-standing stores". He emphasized it was NOT their decision and seemed sorry to have lost the store.
I'd love to hear from a QVC official about why they closed the outlets and more importantly if they will reopen them.
