Come Sail with The Philly Captain as he walks around The Franklin Mills Mall in the far northeast section of Philadelphia. The Captain has walked several malls over the last months and has figured out what item is keeping malls open.

Its just sad that all the Malls are done across the country its a thing that came and went. The 80's where the best time for Malls.

Yup I have ADHD and I have had like 50 jobs either a conflict with someone, unfairness, unappreciated, more money, or straight bored with the job and I'm out. Love what I do now work for myself have no conflicts and always doing something different. 😅😅

Man, that mall looks so different now. That Five Below used to be a KB Toys. I worked there and also at the Old Navy next to it back in 2002. You're spot on about how much personality and color that mall had back in the day. I remember the ramped sections having colored railings and black and white checkboard flooring. Makes me sad to see it this way now. The big talking Ben Franklin head being removed was a huge L.

I worked at Champs in the 90s....now American Eagle. That place was always mobbed especially Saturdays with all the bus trips.

Your comment doing these mall walks are awesome for people of our generation. Malls were a huge part of our lives if we didn’t work there we knew many that did and malls were the best places to hang in the 80s and early 90s! I used to play softball for merry go round we would go and run into the store after games all muddied up and raise hell with our girlfriends that worked there. We ruled the malls back then all the stores you mentioned we such a part of our lives! Gadzooks,record bar, tinder box, brookstone, Spencer , babbages, we’re some of best stores!

I was at Franklin Mills when it opened. It was uber busy in the early 1990s. Looks like a zombie apocalypse now.

Why do you walk a mail you know don't have tv wall mounts? Oh, my family is from Germantown Pennsylvania and they called the liver room a parlor and Bars is a Tap Room. 😂

Man I used to live at this mall every day the entire summer as a kid. I’d survive off free samples of fudge from The Fudgery and 25 cent Dr Thunders from Pharmacy-Mor

The first 30 seconds had me in stitches 🤣 😂 😂. I remember this mall being huge. When I was a kid, we used to go here often. My mom in fact worked at the Carrefour there at one point and they had their huge fair every year. I also remember the rollerskate rink and remember going to alot of birthday parties there. I remember in the mall, the huge Ben Franklin head that was a clock and told the time and his mouth dropped down ect. Yea good memories there

??? Skatepark?

@rupertpupkin2660 6 ай бұрын

@@chm9935 yes there used to be a skatepark at the Franklin Mills Mall next to Sam Ash & Dave n Busters. Not sure if the skatepark is still there today but that place used to be booming!

That mall has been dead for yrs ,just some teenagers on the weekends.i used to go that place a couple times a week,Jillian's was great and being a outlet mall there's lots of shoes and clothes.

They offer very little excitement or different variety of stuff to make you want to go there

@derradune6722 6 ай бұрын

Even worse than walking past a store security guard with nothing is walking past with a purchase that the cashier has forgotten to take the security tag off. Rummaging through the bag trying to find the receipt while the door alarm is blasting away is the worst.

It's probably been since the early 1990s since I've been in Franklin mills mall I think there use to be a huge store called carport or something like that the employees went around the store on roller states 😊

This novelty ran out for the locals real quick as the dregs of the city started to look at this place as the vacations they could never afford. Good riddens when it goes.

Imo Franklin Mills was never a great shopping experience. Even w the vacancies the mall is winning w Walmart.
