Over two dozen participating retailers have offered generous discounts to students who simply present their valid college ID. For the bargain hunter, Filene's Basement is offering a 10 percent discount off the shopper's entire purchase. Individual retailers such as Benetton, Boston Traders, BUM Equipment, Free Country, London Fog, Maidenform, Max Studio, Milton's Fashion Outlet, Nine West Outlet, Overland Trading Company, and PA Company all offer 10 percent discounts (some restrictions apply).
Even the kids are not forgotten, with discounts between 10 and 50 percent off children's clothing at Genuine Kids, Michaela New England, and Oshkosh B'Gosh.
Students are also eligible for a 20 percent discount on hair care products at Lord's and Lady's hair salon and a 10 percent discount at kiosks Hot Shop Photo and For Men Only. For students looking to make some noise, Cambridge Soundworks offers 10 percent off Cambridge Soundworks speaker systems. And for those looking to escape the dining hall, food court participants Burger King, Heid's of Liverpool, Panda Express and Sandella's Cafe are offering 10 to 15 percent off all menu items.
"We want Worcester Common Fashion Outlets to be as much a part of college life as spring break," said Tony Kalinowski, General Manager. "These discounts are a way for us to let students know that they are welcome and we appreciate their business."
