Francesca’s opens at Willow Grove Park

Willow Grove, Pa. -- Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust said that Francesca’s Collections has opened a 1,046-sq.-ft. store at Willow Grove Park, located in Willow Grove, Pa.



Laila Rowe is slated to opena 1,181-sq.-ft. store in September.



Francesca’s Collections and Laila Rowe continue a wave of leasing activity at the property that includes the opening of Nordstrom Rack, a two-story Forever 21 and family restaurant Bravo Cucina Italiana. These additions, joined by a 114,000–sq.-ft. prototype J. C. Penney opening this fall, complete the transformation of a former Strawbridge’s department store.



Willow Grove Park is a three-level, 1.2 million-sq.-ft. regional shopping mall anchored by Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Sears and The Cheesecake Factory.
