Jillians does sound cool, but not cool enough to deal with the unmitigated hell of driving there.

And I work 10 minutes away from the King of Prussia Sam Ash.

Franklin Mills Mall is a pigsty...there are no real bargains there either. Traffic stinks, the mall is roamed by groups of thugs. Stay in your car for ten more minutes and go to Neshaminy Mall.

im going there tommow ironically enough

i go there 2-3 times a year to get shoes for work

and it is no normal mall a normal mall would have stores that would entertain me whilst my girlfreind went clothes shopping

the frugal person like myself can get quite the bargin there

last time i went 2 pairs of shoes i sneaker 5 pairs of slacks and like 2-3 shirts maybe 200$

(ps brand names mean nothing to me...but i only buy quality goods)

and i like target too...sometimes i wish we could vote more then once in a poll

I'm in there once a month. There's a Banana Republic at the northern most end that I visit and well that's about it.

The best thing about Franklin Mills Mall is the restaurants surrounding it. Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse is flipping awesome.

yep its pretty cool I played it with my friend. I suggest you play it now, because in a few months that thing will be closed forever...

In response to the question, “Is Franklin Mills closing?” It is time to set the record straight, Franklin Mills is very much alive and well, and it is not going away any time soon!

To date in 2008, Franklin Mills has opened six new stores, Robert Wayne Footwear, Spring, Bath & Body Works Outlet, Nike Factory Store, Zumiez and Gymboree. It will open 5 new stores by year end including a 10,284 sq.ft. Victoria’s Secret.

Franklin Mills has an enviable roster of tenants that keep people coming back again and again to take advantage of the terrific bargains.

We are not sure where these rumors have started; maybe it started in 2006 when Boscov’s closed. Steve & Barry’s moved right into the Boscov’s location shortly after their closing. They have brought in stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Venus Williams, and Stephon Marbury. Maybe it was when Franklin Mills was purchased by Simon Property Group, a year ago? We aren’t sure.

Where ever this false rumor started, we want to set the record straight and say, Franklin Mills is a part of Philadelphia and has been for almost 20 years. Franklin Mills is not closing, turning into housing, a casino or a horse park. We will remain a shopping center and continue to grow and bring new and exciting merchants to our shoppers.

Best Regards,

Franklin Mills

Isn't it VENUS Williams? Are you really from Franklin Mills?

So now that Steve and Barry's and Boscov's are gone..

What's next Forman Mills?

A new Crown Fried Chicken?

The Marshall's Home Goods there is so good that I've met at least 2-3 different interior decorators at various times while shopping.

I also really love that they have a Gymboree Outlet, and it really is an outlet. I think they have the clothes from maybe 2-3 seasons ago.

I've never had any safety problems there, either. Now the security all ride around on their Segway's, so they have a quicker response.

It's not my favorite mall, by far. That honor would probably go to Oxford Valley because they have some good stores and I really like the kids play area.

There is one in Lahaska, as well. There is also a regular Coach store in Willow Grove, I believe.

As far as outlet malls go, has anyone been to the Philadelphia Outlets in Limerick? Just wondering if it was any good.
