While we may still be several months from the planned opening date of the Tampa Premium Outlets at the Cypress Creek Town Center Development of Regional Impact (DRI) on both sides of S.R. 56 between Lutz and Wesley Chapel, the mall’s parent company Simon Property Group has named the shopping destination’s first general manager.

According to a May 5 press release, Simon has announced that the outlet mall’s first general manager will be Stacey Nance (photo), who has worked for the company for more than 17 years. The release says that Nance — who holds a B.S. degree in Marketing & Management from Ball State University in Muncie, IN — has previously served as the manager of the Muncie Mall. She began her new position at the local outlet mall on May 18.

“Stacey is a motivated and detail-oriented individual with years of leadership experience,” said Mary Spaulding, regional vice president for Simon’s South Region in the release. “Her priorities include creating a positive shopping experience for customers by establishing and maintaining Simon’s operating standards, and we are thrilled to welcome her to Tampa Premium Outlets.”

Nance will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the new outlet mall on the southwest corner of the S.R. 56/I-75 interchange, as well as management of the maintenance, budgeting and tenant and community relations. She also will oversee the security and marketing of the new mall. The administrative office will employ between 5-10 Simon workers.

Tampa Premium Outlets broke ground in December and is expected to open in October. The mall is expected to create about 800 new jobs and a job fair is tentatively planned for August, although an exact date has not yet been set.
