Quarterly Ad Campaign Launched 

In April, the King of Prussia District rolled out its first ad campaign of 2012 focused on thanking businesses for choosing King of Prussia. With numerous suburban locations to choose from, it is important to the BID to highlight companies that have decided to move their business into King of Prussia and those that have renewed their lease. 

The ads will run the in the Philadelphia Business Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Times Herald, Route 422 Business Advisor and the Montgomery County Chamber Magazine on a quarterly basis. 

King of Prussia has 'Simply Everything' your business needs for success! It is the largest employment center in the suburban Philadelphia Region with more than 55,000 employees, 180,000 sq. ft. of convention & meeting space, 2,700 hotel rooms, and easy access to southeastern Pennsylvania's major highways, Amtrak's 30th Street Station and Philadelphia International Airport. 

If you are a property manager and would like to feature your new tenants in our next ad, contact Brooke Hersh at 484.681.9452 or brooke@kopbid.com. Content for the next ad is due Friday, May 25th.

Wegmans to open Sunday, May 6th.

On Sunday, May 6th at 7 am, Wegmans will open its King of Prussia store to the delight of many King of Prussia residents and employees. The 140,000 sq. ft. store has been busy hiring more than 650 full-time employees and additional part-time employees. 

The $50 million investment includes the grocery store, Pub and stand-alone restaurant (slated to open in fall/winter 2012). Fun fact: The stand-alone restaurant that will feature a bar and restaurant will be only the second restaurant Wegmans opened in the country (first is located in Rochester, NY.)

Last night, the King of Prussia District was honored to accept an award of excellence from the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. After only 15 months of operations, we are extremely pleased to be recognized for the organization's work.

I believe that this award says a lot about the "founding fathers" and the dedicated volunteer committee members of the BID and their determination to continue to improve King of Prussia's retail & dining, hospitality & tourism and commercial office sectors. 

In my latest blog post you'll learn more about the incredibly talented group of individuals dedicated to the success of the BID and, more importantly, the success of King of Prussia.
