Philadelphia Mills (formerly and still referred to as Franklin Mills) is an enclosed shopping mall in Northeast Philadelphia, bordering Bensalem in Bucks County and 15 miles (24 km) from Center City.[3] Formerly named for Benjamin Franklin, the mall is home to 125 stores, a movie theatre, a food court, and seven theme restaurants[4] and was visited by an estimated 18 million people in 2006.[5] The anchor stores are Dave & Buster's, Forever 21, Urban Planet, Saks Fifth Avenue, Marshalls, HomeGoods, American Freight, Walmart, AMC Theatres, Burlington, and Turn 7 Liquidators. Two currently vacant anchor stores once housed Phar-Mor and Modell's Sporting Goods.
Opened in 1989, Franklin Mills was the second built and formerly owned by the Mills Corporation and was managed by the Simon Property Group until September 2024.[6] Along with the King of Prussia mall, Simon had control of Pennsylvania's two largest malls.
On September 16, 2014, Simon Property Group renamed the mall from Franklin Mills to Philadelphia Mills.[7]
With 200 stores, Philadelphia Mills is currently the second largest shopping mall in Pennsylvania.
