Tanger Outlet Pronunciation Question

[49erinnc]

Having a debate as to the proper way to pronounce "Tanger" as in the chain of factory outlets. Does anyone know (for sure) how to say it?

I'm sure I'm wrong but I say it's "TANG-er" (like the fruit drink)

She says it's "TAN-jur"

Or are we both wrong and it's "TAN-gur"?

 

[TheAudit]

The second one.

Its TANG-er. Thats how they pronouce it in their commercials.

Yes, it is TANG-er. The CEO's name is Steve Tanger and that's how he pronounces his name. He even says it himself in this commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8VqvHQazo

Well, I am not specifically writing it for 49erinnc. I am just writing it because that's the first thread that came up on Google when I was searching the same question. It might help someone.

I've been waiting 12 years for an answer to this question. Thanks newbie!

I always pronounced it "Tan Geer"

Foxwoods has a monster sized multi-story version of this outlet in their casino.

I would pronounce it like Tan-Jur.
