Tanger announces retail shops, Taco Bell open

Tanger Outlet Branson announced new stores opening in the recent $3 million mall and parking lot improvements.

Tanger Outlet Branson General Manager Jamie Whiteis said Sunglass Hut opened Oct. 24 and three others are set to open before the holiday shopping season. Pandora was scheduled to open Oct. 31 and Talbots and Helzberg Diamonds are set to open Nov. 7, he said. Pandora is going in on the east side of the mall in existing space.

An Adidas store, Calendar Club & Go Games, and an Express are scheduled to open some time next month, though Whiteis said the exact dates are unknown at this point. Whiteis declined to disclose the final store that will fill in the newly constructed retail space because a lease had not been finalized.

The mall is also getting parking lot and pedestrian improvements. Whiteis said construction is slightly more than halfway complete on the parking lot improvements, though work will be halted as the mall experiences a higher volume of shoppers for the holiday season.

The Bank of Missouri will also be breaking ground on a 7,100-square-foot building Nov. 3 at 1313 Missouri 248 in Branson.

The community is invited to the ground breaking at 9 a.m.

We are very excited to begin this next phase of our presence in Branson, said David Cook, community bank president for The Bank of Missouri in Branson.

We appreciate the support we have had from our customers since we opened in August 2012, and we look forward to serving them from our new state-of-the-art building.
