History

In 1991, the Sammis Corporation proposed to build a shopping center in Camarillo, ^{[4] [5]} although it would receive opposition from homeowner groups. ^[6] From October 1992 to April 1994, ^[7] Stephen J. Maulhardt, ^[8] who was formerly the president of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce, ^[9] attempted to file lawsuits against the city of Camarillo, ^[10] claiming that the city had violated the California Environmental Quality Act by approving the project. ^[11] Construction for the outlet mall began in August 1994. ^[12] The Camarillo Premium Outlets would first open in November ^[13] of 1995, ^[14] with a further expansion of the mall in 1997. ^[15] By 2003, the shopping center had attracted around 10 million visitors per year. ^[16] In 2009, Camarillo Premium Outlets received another expansion after being bought by Simon Property Group. ^{[17] [18]}
