Gymboree Store vs. Gymboree Outlet Stores?

Is there a difference?

Clothing designs, well the outlet offers last years lines from my opinion or stuff that is from several lines back. They have different store hangtags so you know it is from the outlet. They also have different interior tags inside so you know they are from the outlet.

Sizes can sometimes be a little off, example 2T or 3T size but the measurments may not be the EXACT  measurements that that size would normally have. The actual Gymboree store has PRECISE size chart measurements and they are EXACT. the OUTLET IS NOT. I myself have gone into the outlet a few times just to compare and look, I have never purchased anything.

My reasons are, first I can find better deals at the actual store on sale clearance items and earning gymbucks to buy for my kids than to buy at the outlet.

Second, why buy at the outlet? The resale is not that great on outlet stuff?

Third, the sizes sometimes are sort of off and may not fit as good as the actual store. I just can't see how the outlet is better, in my opinion it doesn't work for us. They have sales and promos however they don't have the Gymbucks or other sales like the actual store. My opinion I can save more money at the actual store and have resale value as people want to buy the real actual product from the store not the outlet.

Yes there is a difference if you have ever wondered.  I hope this helps.
