The shopping center will operate from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.Â

Please check with your favorite retailer before visiting the center as their hours may vary."
The operator also writes on the website, "As we prepare to reopen Allen Premium Outlets, we do so with deep gratitude for the compassion and goodwill of so many. To the Allen Police Department, APO security professionals, other first responders, our retailers and employees, and all who helped, thank you. As we remember the victims, their families and all who loved them, plans for a permanent memorial have begun. TOgether, we truly are #AllenStrong."
