Sears to shut what's left at King of Prussia store
Primark to join Dick's in former Sears space
Ireland-based multinational retailer Primark plans to lease the last 100,000 sq. ft. of what used to be Sears' big King of Prussia mall retail store and auto service center, says investor Eddie Lampert's Sears Holding Corp., which runs Sears and Kmart, in this statement. Dick's Sporting Goods already occupies the 75,000 sq. ft. former Sears space upstairs. Sears plans to pull out in about a year.
Sears also plans to sublet to Primark at locations in Staten Island, N.Y., and five other cities, the company says. Not immediately clear how the King of Prussia pullout affects Simon Property Group's ongoing plan to expand the retail area to connect the KofP Mall and Plaza.
