Buckle and Icing® to open soon at Opry Mills

New location for Pepper Palace now open

Nashville, TN – Opry Mills, the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in Tennessee, continues to enhance its unique brand of shopping with the future additions of Buckle and Icing®, plus a recently reopened location for Pepper Palace.

These new stores build upon the excitement of Opry Mills’ recent announcement of the state’s first True Religion Outlet, which is scheduled to open this April.

“Opry Mills continues to entice shoppers by adding more retailers to its impressive mix of more than 200 stores,” said Jad Murphy, general manager at Opry Mills. “These new additions are just a taste of what is to come this year at Opry Mills, as we strive to provide the best shopping experience for all to enjoy.”

Scheduled to open this summer just in time for back-to-school shopping, Buckle, which will be located across from Opry Mills’ Food Court, is a leading retailer for trendy young men and women featuring a wide selection of brand names and private label casual apparel, like Buffalo, Fossil, Hurley, Oakley, PUMA and Roxy. Buckle will provide Opry Mills’ shoppers with an impressive variety of denim, sportswear, outerwear, accessories, footwear and more.

Frugal fashionistas will soon have access to more trendy accessories at great values when Icing, a brand of Claire’s Stores, Inc., opens during late spring 2014 near Stride Rite Outlet. The popular brand will offer an eclectic mix of accessory pieces and jewelry targeted to the lifestyle of young working women.

Plus, shoppers looking to add a little kick to their favorite meals will continue to enjoy the wide variety of flavors available at Pepper Palace, which is now located in its permanent home across from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Known as the one-stop shop for everything spicy, Pepper Palace offers an impressive array of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, salsas, jellies, jams, pickled items and more.

These additions will further complement Opry Mills’ already celebrated collection of popular name brand stores, including American Eagle Outfitters Factory Store, Brooks Brothers Factory Store, H&M, Janie and Jack Outlet, J.Crew Factory, The Limited Outlet, Lucky Brand Outlet, Michael Kors Outlet, Nike Factory Store, The PUMA Store and Vera Bradley Outlet.
