The King of Prussia Mall is adding 14 new stores, including eight that are new to the region, in the coming months.
At 2.7 million square feet, it is one of the largest shopping malls in the country and as such is able to attract high-end retailers and other concepts that don't often have another location in Greater Philadelphia.
Headlining the 14 new editions in 2025 are Netflix House and Italian food emporium Eataly. The location of the former will be one of the concept's first two sites. Netflix House is also planning to debut a Dallas outpost in 2025. Eataly currently operates 10 other U.S. locations, with the next nearest outposts in North Jersey and New York.
The concepts are part of a new wave of retail that's centered around experiences that go beyond traditional shopping.
Other highly anticipated brands opening soon at King of Prussia Mall include popular cooler and drinkware brand Yeti; luxury clothing and outerwear brand Moncler; Australian fashion concept Princess Polly; and eatery Lazy Dog Café. For each, it will mark their first foray into the Philadelphia market.
“These additions are prime examples of the elevated shopping experience we strive to provide for visitors and retailers alike,” Todd Putt, the mall’s marketing director, told the Business Journal.
The new stores add to a robust lineup at the mall, which as of February was 96% leased, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Here are the stores set to open heading into 2025:
New to Greater Philadelphia:
- Amorino: The French chain, known for its Italian-style gelato, is set to open at the end of December.
- Aroma 360: The scent company makes products for homes and businesses.
- Eataly: The Italian food emporium is taking 23,000 square feet on two floors and will have an exterior entrance.
- Lazy Dog Café: Previously planned to open in 2024, the Southern California-based chain restaurant serves a menu with twists on comfort food that highlight seasonal ingredients.
- Moncler: An Italian luxury fashion brand specializing in outerwear.
- Netflix House: The retail, dining and live entertainment venue will occupy the former Lord & Taylor store.
- Princess Polly: An Australia-based women’s clothing company touting its trendy, quality fashion.
- Yeti: An Austin, Texas-headquartered cooler and drinkware brand.
