2700 State Road 16, St. Augustine
It must be sheer coincidence that St. Augustine Premium Outlets is home to some pretty old stores, too - not the physical storefronts themselves but the retail roots, which go back as far as 1818 when Brooks Brothers got its start in New York City. Other elder statesmen among the 75 stores are Clarks shoes (1825) and Levi’s (1853). Don’t worry, the inventory is all from this century.
