We received dinner and swag in exchange for our thoughts on the Fashion Outlets of Chicago. All opinions expressed are completely our own!
While driving up 294, the Fashion Outlets of Chicago calls out to you, begging to be visited.
My hubby works near this location and after spending our anniversary last year visiting this section of Rosemont, we were just as intrigued to head back again this year. Some new additions also drew us in!
We headed to the Fashion Outlets for a night of fun and education, learning a bit more about this fashion-forward shopping center. We take things very seriously without our kids, so it was a night of mischief and whimsy.
The Food Court was expansive and impressive, offering choices for just about every palate and preference.
The attention to detail and beautiful artistry throughout the Fashion Outlets is breathtaking. Bright, bold colors against white modern backgrounds makes for a stark contrast that goes well with the overall feel of the space. I also love the little touches, such as keeping all of the family stores close together, so moms can get all their shopping down quickly and efficiently if they are running low on time.
Our next stop was Lolli and Pops – a candy store reminiscent of Willy Wonka that I could have just about lived in. Filled with every variety you could possibly imagine, this sweet stop was the perfect addition to our tour and definitely a stop before Christmas in anticipation of specialty gifts for family and friends. Did I mention King Gummy Bear that I wish I could have taken home?
Every flavor you could possibly imagine!
In addition to the large variety of stores, free parking, and plentiful food options, the Fashion Outlets of Chicago also offers two additional services that I’m sure you’ll love – Concierge Services (formerly Guest Services) located on the lower level and the Green Savings Card. The Concierge Services can do just about anything you can imagine – plan an itinerary, answer questions, and provide all the information you need for a fabulous visit. Fashion Outlets of Chicago’s Green Savings Card provides special offers and discounts from participating stores and restaurants (worth more than $800 in savings). Simply visit Concierge Services to purchase your Green Savings Card for just $5! Start shopping (and saving!) now!
Our last stop for the night was a visit to Hofbräuhaus Chicago in Rosemont. This authentic German brewery & beer garden will you have you clamoring for more! My hubby has been dying to try this place and it’s the perfect stop to enjoy both indoors and out.

Nicer weather? Enjoy the the music and food outside amidst the park and scenery. (This isn’t us, but I promise, we look just as delightful…)
Our favorite of the night? This pretzel with specialty cheese and mustard. It was definitely something we would order the next time we head in! We’re already planning a visit again for Oktoberfest.
Which would be the first item you want to try?
The entire Rosemont space is quickly becoming a destination hotspot for shopping and eats. The Fashion Outlets of Chicago make this the perfect destination for an all-day extravaganza and one that people of all ages are sure to enjoy. We’re looking forward to visiting again soon, especially during the holidays.
What would be your first store to visit?
