The King of Prussia Mall is the largest shopping mall in the United States of America in terms of leasable retail space. It is a luxury mall with numerous upscale retailers. A selection of international dining options are available at three food courts and in casual and fine dining establishments.

It is located in King of Prussia, an area within Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia. The two sections that comprise the King of Prussia Mall include the Plaza at King of Prussia, anchored by Lord & Taylor, Sears, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom; and the Court at King of Prussia, which is anchored by Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. The latter includes the Pavilion at King of Prussia.

On November 29, 2011, Simon Property Group announced plans to create a 140,000 sq ft. expansion to connect The Court and The Plaza. This new retail connector will feature over 40 stores, dining choices from some of Philadelphia’s well-known celebrity chefs, an upscale dining pavilion and a customer lounge. This proposal, which includes expanding the adjacent parking deck, is still subject to approval by the local government. This project will make King of Prussia Mall the largest official shopping mall in the United States (larger than Mall of America in overall square footage until their completed ‘Phase II’ expansion which will add an additional 5.6 million square feet of retail, hotel and entertainment options returning them to the distinction of the largest mall in the U.S.), and it will be under one roof for the first time.

If the plan is approved, construction will begin in late 2013, with completion by 2015. Several outparcels are also proposed for this expansion. The Container Store has received approval from Upper Merion Township, and will be located in the outer parking lot of The Court with frontage along Dekalb Pike (US 202).
