Pennsylvania's Trailblazing VF Outlet to Be Sold

A Berks County shopping complex widely considered to be the nation's first outlet center is being sold.

The Reading Eagle reports that VF Outlet is selling its 51-acre property in Wyomissing.

The company says it's entered into an agreement of sale with Atapco Properties, a Baltimore-based commercial real estate development company.

VF Outlet Vice President Rick Ott says Atapco will spend the next few months assessing investigating options for the property that could include a mix of retail, housing, offices or other uses.

Ott says the proliferation of outlet shopping has made the Wyomissing site less of a regional draw than it once.
