Philadelphia Malls Transform with Experience-Focused Anchors

[Sanjeev Advani]

As e-commerce competition intensifies, Philadelphia-area malls are turning to experience-focused retailers to draw shoppers back. Moorestown Mall will welcome Parky’s, a two-story entertainment center, in early 2025, while Neshaminy Mall signed its largest lease since 2017 with Fusion Fitness, an athletic complex opening mid-2025. King of Prussia Mall will host the first-ever Netflix House, an immersive entertainment venue, in late 2025. These experiential retailers not only fill large vacant spaces but also reinvent malls as entertainment destinations that can’t be matched online, paving the way for a reimagined retail experience.
