from center city it's just as easy to go to king of prussia on the 124/5. I generally go to neither but if i must go to a mall, I go to K o P.

I shop there very, very infrequently. Probably once a year, if that. Since it is an outlet mall, you can usually find some good bargains. But if I'm going outlet shopping, I would rather make the trek to the Rehoboth Outlets in Delaware and make a day of it.

KoP has some nice stores, but they are retail and generally more expensive than the outlets. In general, I try to avoid the malls, as well.

I'll go maybe twice a year. However, I prefer outlet shopping in Lancaster.

I prefer going to a few places in Lancaster for fresh veggies, fruit, spices, and whatnot.

Franklin Mills is a horrible behemoth ... and I'm a fan of big malls.

It bills itself as an "outlet mall" but in reality it's a regular mall, with regular prices, and an occasional outlet store. If I want outlet shopping, I go to Reading, which, although farther away, is much less hassle to get to.

Oh, and important safety tip ... don't exit the mall through the wrong door after closing time. It's a really long damn walk to the car.

lancaster outlets are a sprawling monstrosity which is the same as regular malls. I used to go there but the last few times I noticed the prices are now just as high. it's not worth the gas.

I only go to Franklin mills for certain stores...like JCpenney outlet and Boscovs....occasionally we go to the movies there, but for the most part I stay away from Franklin Mills, especiall since my sister had her wallet stolen once when we were up there.

I just don't find it very convenient. I can find pretty much everything I need in CC, or online if necessary.
