Philadelphia Mills

Poorly laid out mall. Over the years it has been in business, many stores have come and gone. Some of the larger Anchor stores such as Boscov’s outlet store. The mall is great for early mall walkers. The entire mall complex has lost a lot of stores we liked to shop at. Restaurants have come and gone and we’ve lost a few good ones. There are restaurants and fast food establishments in smaller stand alone stores. The are also other shopping establishments that are located on the larger mall property. Harbor Freight has a tool outlet store that I frequent regularly. They have many great sale items and you can subscriber to a store catalog flier that comes regularly. There is a relatively new Super Walmart attached to the main mall that replaced a smaller regular Walmart on the mall property. There is also a Retro Fitness gym on the property as well as a large tire and battery outlet for your vehicle.

This place is pretty far from Brooklyn, about an hour and 45 minutes, but it is indoor, and sometimes it feels good to take a long drive, get out of the city, and shop in peace. This mall suppose to be an outlet mall, but as I’ve been realizing lately, it’s not, they have all the stores a regular mall has, H&M, forever21, Bebe, but some of the stores are the same price as if you were going to any other mall. I mainly go there for the Polo outlet, they do accept the promotional polo coupons, so when we have a good one, like 30−40% our entire purchase we come to pick up a few things for our toddler. Other stores like forever 21 isn’t a outlet, no good sales, Nike also, it looks like any other outlet store, but the sneakers are never any cheaper than if I bought them at footlocker. Victoria Secret is also the same price as anywhere else, we actually came because my daughter wants a bunch of Pink outfits/​pajamas for Christmas, we all know how expense the stuff is, so I figured let’s come here to «save money» when checking the price, I noticed it’s the same price as online, they had no good sales, no good coupons, but since we drove almost two hours, might as well make the best of it, and finish our Christmas shopping.
The mall seems to be going through some renovations, which is good because they needed it, it’s a weird layout, long hallways, difficult to navigate, not enough maps to help you either.
The food court is absolutely pathetic, no good options, very small, so if you get hungry while shopping, good luck!
There is always plenty of parking, which is a plus, go during the week when it’s empty, make sure you have coupons, they help.

This is a mall with clearance stuff. Outlets. Some nice, some not. People are bussed in from the Ghetto to this mall to spend. See for yourself! Overall, a good spot to go if you need something in a budget.

Great and huge mall, mainly they have factory outlets who dont carry regular clothing lines that you can get on regular outlet store, prices are cheap than other store bcoz it has factory outlets.

This mall used to be called Franklin Mills, but recently changed to Philadelphia MIlls. The stores seem to be the same as I remember, but there are some new stores that opened. I barely come to shop at Philadelphia Mills, but the stores I usually aim for are sneaker stores or the Nike store. I do come here with my friends and family to Dave and Busters which is at the mall and also to watch movies. There is also a Sam’s club nearby and a Walmart that just opened up recently. I had bad experience with the food court before so I never went back to it again. If you really need something and close by this is the mall to go to, but if you want to go to a better mall with friends and family there are way better ones than Philadelphia Mills.

Nothing like the Simon Malls I’m used to. No-​name stores and outdated name brands. Unexpectedly disappointed. A large space with little worth shopping around.

I don’t care for this mall. Shoe stores upon shoe stores upon shoe stores. The food courts suck. The crowd isn’t the greatest either (especially since attaching Wal-​Mart to it, eeek). The only thing it’s good for is Marshalls and Vitamin World. Other than that, you won’t catch me wandering around. I only go there when I know what I need!

You can change the name but it’s still the same old Franklin Mills. There’s a few more stores that have come here, with more promised. We’ll see what they bring.

You can almost always find a great deal here. It used to be the place to go but not anymore and for that reason it is rarely busy. I still feel it’s worth checking out every once in a while but keep your head about you. It’s not in the best of areas and crime is not far away sometimes. There really isn’t that many stores but what they do have is fairly good.

I did my Christmas shopping here. Fortunately, it wasn’t very busy, even though it was the last Sunday before Christmas. It has a decent number of stores, but it doesn’t really have the flagship stores I’m used to malls having, like Macy’s or Lord and Taylor.
The layout of the mall kinda sucks though. It’s a long strip with no central area and it doesn’t loop around. Their food court, if you could call it that, kinda sucked too.

Must be the worst mall in America. From the layout to the dated décor, this is the armpit of northeast Philly.

Not a great spot but good deals at stores like Saks off fifth and Neumann Marcus but don’t walk the area alone it’s not a good area and has a low class clientele

Nach einem verunglückten Besuch der Germantown, haben wir den restlichen Nachmittag für einen Ausflug zur Franklin Mills Mall genutzt. Die Outlet Mall befindet sich im Nordosten von Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an der Grenze von Bensalem in Bucks County.
Hier findet man 200 Ladengeschäfte, 2 Foodcourts, 7 Themenrestaurants und ein Kino. In der Mall befinden sich normale Geschäfte und auch Factory Stores. Unter anderem gibt es dort unter anderem den Tommy Hilfiger Company Store, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Levi’s Outlet Store und für meine Mädels einen Victoria’s Secret.
In der Mall wurde ein kostenloses WLAN angeboten, das aber nur leidlich funktionierte. Die Mall ist wirklich gigantisch groß, daher wurden die Geschäfte in 4 Neighborhoods eingeteilt, die auf dem Plan in verschiedenen Farben gekennzeichnet wurden.
Die Mall ist vollkommen geschlossen und machte einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck. Auf Kleidung zahlt man in Pennsylvania keine TAX. Sicherlich ein lohnendes Shoppingziel, wenn man mal in der Nähe ist.

I’ve lived near this mall since it opened & have seen it in the best and worst of times. It’s had huge improvements the past few years. Great outlets and stores keep coming — love the Home Goods/​Marshall’s, Nike, BCBG, Forever 21, Off Broadway, Fossil & PS (aero for kids) to name a few.
Star taken off for the lack of good food (have barely anything in food courts). There is a Ruby Tuesday in the mall, and some food options surrounding the mall.
If you can, shop there on a weekday– Weekends tend to draw bigger crowds. Completely avoid weekends during holiday season. As for crimes, I really don’t think there is more crime here than at any other mall in this area — just follow normal crime prevention tips!

Discounts discounts discounts! I’m not really a mall person (idk, just think it’s a «family place» to hang and it’s never any stores outside of the usual mundane options) but when I do go, I need to catch a sale to feel the true purpose of going in the first place.
I love Franklin Mills for that reason alone, the discounts and outlets; I could never leave here empty handed!
My go to stores are, Kenneth Cole, Fossil, Forever 21, Aldo, Gap, Wilson Leather, Old Navy and Off Fifth Avenue : — - they ALWAYS have great prices. Brought two watches under $ 100, bro brought leather flip flops with plaid thong print and a Nike tee for a total of $ 35.00. Noooot baaaaaad! Lol

This used to be my go to place to buy clothes and such. They had amazing deals and great clothes. They definately still do, but this mall has gotten to be waaaaay over crowded. It’s so frustrating trying to weeve through people just to get somewhere. Also, this mall has got to have the most ridiculous and rudest customers ever!!! Bc it’s so crowded, something you accidently bump into someone. You can say sorry ya know!!! Or if I’m the one who accidentally bumps into someone, I say sorry, but in return, I get the ugliest stare back (like, «Omg, you just bumped me. You better keep walking or I’m going to punch you»)
Moving on… they did add some great stores recently which is a plus. Also, I see that they are doing more renovations down by the movie theatres side. That side needs some great new features bc there’s barely anything there and any store that opens tends to close within a year down that way. Hopefully, this will improve it.
DnB — Love going to this one. Parking is free and it has a bowling alley! :-) Waaaay expensive, so I never bowl here, but it’s great for parties.

So I’ll be generous here. With a bit of shame I’ll admit I’m a regular. In the winter when it’s impossible to get in a good walk outside, I come here, since at least it’s quite a stretch to walk rom one end to the other.
Here’s the good; Dave and Buster’s, while sometimes hit or miss, is always a fun way to blow money if you’re bored. The skate park is a good place to wrangle kids in and get them away from the general public. The movie theater there is empty on weekdays. The food courts are alright, though nothing Earth shattering. And not to mention all the outlet stores mean good deals (despite sifting through a ton of crap).
The negatives are obvious. It lies in a somewhat seedy border neighborhood of the Northeast, and due to it’s location is kind of a wasteland of a shopping mecca. The crowds it draws aren’t the greatest, being a discount mall that’s far past it’s prime.
Lately they’ve been putting a bit more money into it, which helps a bit at least, but still just after the holidays this year I saw a bunch of stores shut their doors. I’m not sure what’s in store for Franklin Mills, but they could be a great mall if they weren’t so ignored.

Franklin Mills was such a hot place to shop in the ‘80s-‘90s but now it is dying. A victim of mall/​outlet business cycle, everyone want to go to the new palces and forget the old.
It does look like a shopping center from the 70’s.
There is some hope.
At the south end, the whole section has been torn down to make way for a Walmart.
It was sad working though and seeing all the empty stores.

On trouve presque tout pour se vêtir à des tarifs incroyables. Pas de taxes en sus en Pennsylvanie c’est donc l’occasion de refaire sa garde-​robe en T-​shirts, chaussures., jeans et autres chemises à bon compte

Wow, this place has really gone down since it’s heyday like 5 or 6 years ago.
Now it’s really just a collection of mid-​tier retail outlets with barely any foot traffic even during peak times. So why the decent review?
The reason is — oddly enough I always end up finding some ridiculous bargain here. This time around it was some dirt cheap Superdry shirts in Nieman Marcus. In the past my lady bought some ridiculously cheap clothes at Liz Claiborne. She also got some mad cheap stuff from Aeropostale. Not to mention, I also scored some very good jeans/​shirts at Ecko here at pretty rock bottom prices. There just always seems to be that one or two odd stores that hold a crazy dirt cheap sale around here — even if the overall quality of the mall has gone down considerably.
It’s a shame because this place has a good amount of retail space. But even when the damn Popeye’s moves out — things don’t look so hot. But at least they have a movie theater and a Dave & Busters here for people who are looking to be mildly entertained while other folks go shopping.
Would I say this is a reason to go to Philly? Hell no. But if you’re on the way there and want to stop by and see if you can score a good deal, this place still has value.
Plus, I’m sure traffic will pick up once the Wal-​Mart moves into the old Boscov’s space.

This mall has a little bit of everything, and several outlet stores. There were also virtually no people around when I went shopping last Saturday afternoon.
My favorite store would have to be the NY and Co. outlet. They’ve got lots of nice stuff for summer out right now.
Overall the place is pretty clean — even the bathrooms were sparkling.
Maybe it’s easy to keep clean because no one was there…

If you like dirty, smelly, gross, stores, then you found your place.
Oh dear lord, it is disgusting in here. I just automatically start cringing when i walk through the door. It is huge and theres lot of variety but ew, its so ghetto and disgusting. Lots of slow moving crowds too. Thats never fun.
In that area, Neshaminy mall is like 5 minutes away. Go there. You’ll be much happier (and cleaner) when you leave.

Ich schließe mich dem Review an. Die mall ist super groß und gut zum einkaufen von allen genannten Marken. Ausschau sollte man nach den teilweise bis zu 80% reduzierten waren halten, da kann man das ein oder andere super Schnäppchen holen!

Die Franklin Mills Mall finde auch ich Klasse. Da in Pennsylvania keine Steuern auf Textilien/​Schuhe erhoben wird, lohnt es sich auch von New Jersey aus einen Abstecher in diese Mall zu machen. An Kaufhäusern findet man Saks 5^th Avenue OFF 5^th als Outlet weiter Neiman Marcus oder JCPenney Outlet. Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic, Nike, AnnTaylor, GUESS, GAP und Tommy Hilfiger sind als Factory Outlets vorhanden.
Viele Läden sind keine Outlets wie z.B. H&M, Aeropostal und Skechers, allerdings gibt es auch hier häufig Sales und man findet das eine oder andere Schnäppchen. Die oben genannte King of Prussia Mall ist keine Outlet Mall, daher die höheren Preise, aber es gibt dort auch eine größere Auswahl n allen bekannten Shop z.B. Abercrombie & Fitch, 7 for all mankind oder Victoria’s Secret. Da die Entfernung nicht groß ist, kann man durchaus erst die eine und dann die andere Mall besuchen.

USA ohne Shopping geht nicht, schon gar nicht angesichts des aktuellen Währungskurses. Bei meinen Besuchen in Philadelphia ist Franklin-​Mills-​Mall ein Muss. Riesiges Shopping-​Center mit breitem Angebot (Klamotten, Schuhe, Spielwaren, Reisekoffer, etc.) und Markenwaren (Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, Levis, etc.) zu unschlagbaren Outlet-​Preisen, bspw im Vergleich mit der deutlich teureren King-​of-​Prussia (die durchaus auch mal einen Abstecher wert ist). Hungrig bleibt man beim Shoppen auch nicht, es gibt zwei grosse Food Courts, wo für jeden Fast-​food Geschmack etwas dabei ist.
Die Mall liegt im Norden der Stadt und ist einfach mit dem Auto einfach zu erreichen — und auch einfach zu finden.
