100 Citadel Drive · Commerce, CA

Why you should go…

Citadel Outlets is an outdoor outlet shopping center in Commerce, California, built into the shell of a former Samson Tire and Rubber factory whose facade was styled after the ancient Assyrian citadel of Dur-Sharrukin. The center is owned and operated by Craig Realty Group and leases space to outlet stores for national fashion and lifestyle brands. It sits just east of downtown Los Angeles along Interstate 5.

Good to know

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
