It will be a line of the name brand made especially for Walmart. At one time Outlet shops for chains was to offload the stuff that didn't sell. Now those brands make an entire cheaper and lower quality version just to sell in their outlet shops.

this made me so sad. outlet malls selling out of season/stuff they didn’t sell sounds AMAZING. outlet malls selling shitty quality stuff the companies made specifically for them is horrible!!! just adding more garbage to the landfill, man… that’s so disheartening

Early outlet stores were amazing. I miss them too.

Now it’s all “factory stores” instead of outlets.

Outlet = some items are factory rejects, most items are actually just from a year or two old design, and they have made changes to the newest design.

Factory Store: we sell our own stuff directly to you. Cut out the middle man, pay us!
