Service vehicles towed at Tanger Outlets, glass company calls off service to retailers

POOLER, GA (WTOC) -

There's still two weeks before the Tanger Outlets in Pooler open, and while some crews are working around the clock to get the project done in time, others have called it quits.

The reason? They said some service vehicles are being towed while crews are in the middle of their job.

The general manager of All American Glass said seven retailers will now have to come pick up their mirror orders and intall them themselves.

All American Glass company said they were parked in a service vehicle area when it happened, the main contractor said they need to park in the main parking lot.

"You find the back of the building that you're working on and you pull up, well now, they are hauling you away," General Manager of All America Glass Jim Rackley said.

Rackley said they've been busy installing mirrors in nearly 20 retail stores at the new outlet mall. They've been out there for several weeks parking in the designated service vehicle area behind the store until yesterday, when his company van got towed.

"I'm not going to deal with this towing issue because I'm not going to ask my men to park 100 yards away and walk to the job," Rackley said.

DPR Hardin is the general contractor for the entire mall, they told WTOC that crews are supposed to unload and then move their cars to the parking lot. They said with hundreds of folks providing different services from glass, electricity, and goods these areas need to stay clear because it could become a hazard.

"You just get used to toting things, you carry a little buggy or cart," Joe Volratch with Traditional Contractors said.
