King of Prussia KOP Hermes

[Madam Bijoux]

Yay! The new store sounds so wonderful! Just in time for our visit to Philly! I'm 2 hours from the nearest H, but we're headed to Philly at the end of June. I'm hoping to ditch the DH and fam and find my way there. Does anyone know if I can I get there by public transport? We're staying in Rittenhouse Square.

Hi! If you decide to take the bus, route 124/125 is the one. It isn't so bad, and it beats dealing with the crazy drivers on route 76. Here's a link to the schedules:

Thanks so much! I knew my PF friends would know the quickest way to the big Orange in a strange city. I'm a former NYer living in Maine, which is lovely but I do miss all my favorite stores so I'm looking forward to having them all in one easy to reach spot. Hopefully I'll have a reveal or two. : )

What's the deal with franchise vs. corporate stores?

 

[janney]

King of Prussia was not owned by Hermes Corporate, but privately owned. Last June (2008), they were acquired by Hermes Corporate. I think the only Franchise now is Manhassat, New York.

 

[gelbergirl]

what is the difference between franchise and corporate? Are there differences in services? inventory?

I tried a few months ago to call King of Prussia and I kept getting busy signals. Again, I've been trying now for the last hour. Are they not answering their phones?

 

[Hermes Nuttynut]

Do you have the right number?

 

[lulilu]

I've never had a problem. Odd.

 

[lovehermes]

Oops sorry...I guess I was jumping to conclusions. They did answer later on. Thanks lililu and Hermes Nuttynut.

KofP was having an event that evening and they were probably getting ready for it

Hello everyone! I am planning on visiting the KoP location this weekend, and am hoping to purchase a Constance belt. Does anyone have any experience shopping in this boutique? I've never been to this location before, and am a bit worried since I've heard that the selection can be quite small. If anyone has any commentary or feedback on this store, whether it is stock-related, SA-related, or just general shopping experience, it would be much appreciated!

I see my comment has been re-routed, thanks!

KOP has been enlarged twice since the original post, most recently a few months ago. It has a good variety IMO. And the staff is quite friendly.

@lulilu is correct, the store in now quite large and well stocked in lots of items. I also find the staff to be one of the friendliest I've encountered.

Enjoy the visit, the new expansion of the mall is quite well done and the selection is very nice. Park in the Orange Deck and you'll walk right into H, NM, Tiffany, Cartier and LV. It like a little high end intersection I think I've been spending too much time at the mall this holiday season...
