The Plymouth Meeting Mall is a 952,200 square feet (88,460 m2) shopping mall in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Center City, Philadelphia. It is located at Germantown Pike and Hickory Road, near the Mid-County Interchange where the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) crosses the Northeast Extension/Blue Route (I-476). The mall was built by The Rouse Company in 1966. The mall features a fountain and a carousel.
Plymouth Meeting Mall currently contains more than 100 specialty stores and restaurants, including a central Food Court, and outlying restaurants California Pizza Kitchen, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Redstone American Grill, Benihana, Bertucci's, and King Buffet. Its original anchor stores Strawbridge & Clothier and Lit Brothers are now occupied by Macy's and Boscov's. The Boscov's site was once home to one of the largest branches of Hess's. There is also a 48,000 square feet (4,500 m2) AMC Theatre on the property, featuring 12 screens and stadium seating. The Plymouth Meeting Mall was one of the very first malls in North America which, among its mixture of various stores, offered a church within the mall. The mall is owned and managed by PREIT (the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust).
The mall is recognizable from a considerable distance away due to an adjoining nine-story office tower, One Plymouth Meeting. The tower, containing 167,748 square feet (15,584.3 m2) of office space, is managed by Mack-Cali Realty Corporation.
