Customers

Tanger’s customers are retail tenants that lease space in its centers, including national brands, digitally native brands, and emerging retailers. The company also serves consumers who shop at its centers, because tenant sales and traffic support occupancy, rent growth, and ancillary income. Its tenant mix increasingly includes experiential and food-and-beverage operators that complement traditional outlet retail.

Strategy

Tanger focuses on increasing cash flow from its properties through leasing, marketing, and operational execution. The company also seeks to expand through acquisitions, developments, and selective investments in dominant open-air retail centers while maintaining a conservative capital structure.

Geography

Tanger operates primarily in the United States, with a smaller presence in Canada through unconsolidated centers and joint venture interests. Its portfolio spans 21 U.S. states and includes centers in markets that benefit from residential and economic growth drivers. Geography matters because tenant demand, consumer traffic, and property performance depend on local market strength and regional retail competition.

Risks

Tanger’s results depend on tenant sales, consumer spending, and the competitiveness of outlet and open-air retail formats. The company also faces financing, interest-rate, and refinancing risk because its properties are capital intensive and its cash flows are tied to access to debt and equity markets.
