Charlotte Premium Outlets holding job fair May 2

Charlotte Premium Outlets, the city's first outlet mall, plans to hold a job fair May 2 to fill positions at its new stores.

The mall, a joint venture between Tanger Factory Outlet Centers and Simon Property Group, is set to open July 31. The companies predict it will employ 900 people at its 100 stores.

Carter’s, Direct Tools, Fossil, Le Creuset, Seiko and other stores will be at the job fair and looking to find employees.

The job fair will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Sheraton Charlotte Airport.

Check out this previous blog post for a list of stores headed to Charlotte Premium Outlets. Saks Fifth Avenue will be the largest tenant of the new mall, which will total just under 400,000 square feet.

The companies paid $8.7 million to buy the site from a trust fund owned by Sarah Belk Gambrell. They will receive $5.1 million worth of property tax rebates over the next 10 years.
