KING OF PRUSSIA MALL- INSIDE LOOK  
    
 The King of Prussia Mall construction is nearing it's halfway point! The new connector, scheduled to open in the fall of 2016, will not only provide 50 new stores and restaurants but more than 7,500 jobs! The mall will no longer be referred to as the Plaza and the Court but as the King of Prussia Mall.
