VF Outlet, which is based in Reading, Pa., operates 80 stores in 33 states. It also has a store at Waterloo Premium Outlets in Seneca County.
VF Outlet is part of the VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC), a Greensboro, N.C.–based firm that specializes in branded–lifestyle apparel and footwear with $11 billion in revenues, according to the VF Corporation website.
