It is managed by Premium Outlets, a division of Simon Property Group. The Birch Run Premium Outlets are located approximately halfway between Saginaw and Flint.

History

The mall was built in 1986 as Manufacturer's Marketplace/Prime Outlets at Birch Run.[3] In 2010, the mall was bought by Simon Property Group's Premium Outlet division and renamed Birch Run Premium Outlets.[4]

The mall's busiest months are August and December, the former due to back-to-school shopping and vacationing travelers.[5] For many years, Birch Run Premium Outlets were the largest outlet mall in the Midwestern United States.[6]
