KINGS PLAZA

'Kings Plaza' is a shopping center located within the Marine Park/Mill Basin section of Brooklyn, which opened in 1970. Originally consisting of 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. Most recently 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 recently and a Godiva chocolate store was added to Kings Plaza.
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.
Although crime has been reduced significantly within New York City, the neighborhood surrounding Kings Plaza has been a frequent source of concern, with many robberies occurring within and around the shopping center's location in years past.
This perception was noted on an episode of ''The Sopranos'' where an aborted hit Tony Soprano had ordered on a rival boss was scheduled to occur in the parking lot of Kings Plaza.
