Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. will fuel the festive spirit this year as special teams of The Elf on the Shelf® Scout Elves descend upon its centers to engage shoppers in a game of holiday hide-and-seek. As part of a new partnership with The Elf on the Shelf – the team dedicated to bringing Santa’s North Pole to life for children around the world – the exclusive Scavenger Hunts will take place at Tanger Outlets’ U.S. centers nationwide.


From Nov. 8 – Dec. 24, the Scavenger Hunts will offer photo-worthy opportunities during the holiday shopping season, a peak timeframe when savvy shoppers flock to Tanger Outlet Centers to shop top outlet brand names. Guests can prepurchase a Scavenger Hunt booklet online at tangeroutlets.com/theelfontheshelf, via special QR codes on signage throughout the centers, or directly at Shopper Services. Once collected from Shopper Services, the booklet will unlock the magical Scavenger Hunt and help guests begin a special mission from Santa, filled with entertaining, interactive clues to locate Scout Elves hidden around each center. After discovering the elves’ hiding spots, guests may return to Shopper Services to collect their prize, a delightful holiday toy.
“For years, families across the country have cherished the fun, tradition and magic of The Elf on the Shelf,” said Tanger Outlets Executive Vice President and CMO Carrie Warren. “While our stores have been busy fully stocking their shelves for the holidays, our center teams have also been preparing to host hundreds of adventurous Scout Elves to entertain families. Our goal is to provide our visitors the best brands and hottest designers at unbeatable outlet prices, and we’re offering even more family fun this season with The Elf on the Shelf – making Tanger Outlets a must-visit holiday experience.”
