Tanger Inc. SKT

Company Overview

Tanger Inc. is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on the ownership, operation, development, and management of open-air outlet and lifestyle shopping destinations. The company operates primarily in the retail real estate industry and generates revenue through leasing retail space to branded manufacturers, retailers, and food-and-beverage tenants. Tanger’s portfolio has historically centered on outlet centers, though in recent years it has expanded into broader open-air retail and mixed-use formats to diversify tenant mix and consumer traffic.

The company’s principal revenue drivers include base rental income, percentage rents tied to tenant sales, tenant reimbursements for operating expenses, and ancillary property income. Tanger serves a wide range of retail categories including apparel, footwear, accessories, home goods, and dining. Its strategic positioning is tied to value-oriented shopping experiences, high-traffic tourist and suburban markets, and long-standing relationships with national retail brands. Founded in 1981 by Stanley K. Tanger, the company became one of the first publicly traded outlet-focused REITs in the United States following its IPO in 1993. Over time, Tanger evolved from a pure outlet-center operator into a broader owner and operator of open-air shopping destinations.
