Court at King of Prussia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Court at King of Prussia is part of the massive King of Prussia Mall complex in King of Prussia, an area in Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania.
The Court is linked to the main section of the mall (known as the "Plaza") by a covered outdoor walkway, which features an array of plants, benches, and jazz music. Its anchor stores are Macy's and Bloomingdale's. It originally had a third anchor, Abraham & Straus, whose lease was bought out in 1986 by Strawbridge and Clothier. Strawbridge and Clothier opened their new showcase store in 1988 and opened a second in the former Wanamaker location at The Plaza in 1996 upon its acquisition by May Department Stores Co. Strawbridge and Clothier subsequently left the Court in 2003 and its position was redeveloped as the shopping complex's newest section, the Pavilion at King of Prussia. Stores in this section include a branch of Borders Books and Music, a double-level Urban Outfitters, Five Below and The Cheesecake Factory. One of the complex's three food courts is also located in the Court. The Court houses more upscale shops than the Plaza, and was also the original concept of The King of Prussia Mall.
The other section of the mall, the Plaza at King of Prussia, is much larger than the Court.
