One of the things I love about our towns in Livingston County are all the great little main streets and local shops! In Howell, one of my favorite places to visit is M Street Bakery. Located right in the heart of downtown, M Street offers everything from the unique, ever-changing milkshakes to savory, delicious pizza rolls, catering, and more. With a great little seating area and coffee, this is a great place for me to meet with clients or take my niece and nephews.

We are so fortunate to have Tanger Outlet Center in Livingston County. It's the county's number one attraction and largest outlet shopping center. Featuring more than 75 stores offering name brand merchandise at savings up to 70% off retail, Tanger Outlet Center is a bargain hunter's paradise! It also offers five eateries and is a great shopping experience all in one location. Not to mention it offers great access to the freeway, hotels available nearby and downtown Howell is just a stone's throw away. My family and I shop the Tanger Outlets often as it is a one stop shop and close to home. It's a great day out with out of town guests.

The company derives its name from founder Stanley Tanger who opened the Burlington Manufacturer's Outlet Center in Burlington, NC, in 1981. As of 2014, there are 24 states that have a Tanger mall and to be one of two locations in the state of Michigan, I would say we are pretty lucky that they saw the potential that Howell and Livingston County have to offer.
