INDIANAPOLIS, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As we approach
the Memorial Day holiday, Simon, a global leader in premier
shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today
announced it has developed programming at its Simon Malls, Mills
and Premium Outlets centers nationwide to show appreciation and
support for servicemen and women in local communities. More than
200 Simon Malls®, Mills and Premium Outlets centers
now offer a military discount and signage program that highlights
participating brands where exclusive, year-round special offers are
available.
In addition, a growing number of shopping destinations across
the Simon portfolio now feature special parking reserved
exclusively for veterans.
Throughout the year, Simon centers with a large military shopper
base also offer special events designed exclusively for this
community. During May, select Premium Outlets centers celebrated
Military Appreciation Month with special events, featuring
giveaways, prizes and discounts, in addition to the
savings enjoyed by all shoppers of up to 65 percent on
sought-after brands. Military guests were also able to enter to win
a $100 gift card every hour on
special event days. In November, the company has additional
activations planned for Veteran's Day and Military Family
Month.
"We're extremely grateful for the selfless sacrifices made by
the servicemen and women in our communities, and it's an honor to
be able to serve them," said Mikael
Thygesen, Simon's Chief Marketing Officer. "We know that
small gestures can make a big difference, and our Simon Malls,
Mills and Premium Outlets centers are pleased to offer ongoing
support for military members and their families. We have a
commitment to seeking ways to honor and recognize these
heroes."
To further strengthen the commitment to servicemen and women in
its communities, Simon has planned an expanded military
appreciation program for 2019 and beyond -- with additional
programming slated for an ever-increasing number of centers across
the portfolio.
