Kings Plaza

Kings Plaza is a shopping center that opened in 1970, within the Marine Park/Mill Basin section of Brooklyn, east of Flatbush Avenue. Originally hosting the now defunct Alexander's, as well as Macy*s department store chains, it began to operate a branch of Sears in 1997, and underwent extensive renovations in 2001. Later, Kings Plaza closed the Waldenbooks book store, Suncoast videos and Sam Goody music store. The Banana Republic store was closed and changed into a children's clothing store named Kidstown (which has also closed) and a Godiva chocolate store was added. CVS also closed and was replaced by a furniture store. An Armani Exchange store was added to the mall, expected to open summer 2008.

With approximately 4,200 jobs in retail services and over 120 individual stores, Kings Plaza is the largest such shopping center within the borough of Brooklyn.

It is home to the world's first Sbarro pizza outlet.

Unlike traditional malls in the United States, shoppers visiting Kings Plaza have to pay for parking their cars on mall premises. The parking fee is currently $2 per vehicle. Kings Plaza recently when? closed its outdoor parking lot, where a Lowe's home and hardware store is to be built.
