The possibility of an outlet mall taking over the expansive space at Cypress Creek Town Center, located at the Pasco/Hillsborough County line (Interstate 75 and State Road 56), has created a buzz of hope for economic growth.

Word is Simon Property Group, the nation’s largest operator of outlet malls, is eyeing the Suncoast I-75 corridor for its next project. With two outlet malls already in Orlando and one at Ellenton, should the Simon Group move forward with the Cypress Creek location, it would corner the discount shoppers’ market in the center of the state.

Industries hopeful for the new outlet mall location include contractors/construction workers, real estate professionals, retail and small business owners and workers, and of course, consumers looking for a good deal.
