Dozens of shoppers from all over the city turned out for the grand reopening celebration at the Kings Plaza Mall.

Kings Plaza first opened its doors in 1970, but after years of planning and work it's made some upgrades, bringing in several new stores - including Primark, Zara and JC Penney.

The mall is hosting a weekend full of activities with live performances and free giveaways.

Many customers told News 12 that they are excited about all the new stores at the mall.
