Gen Z fashion favorite Princess Polly opening at Town Center Mall in Boca. Princess Polly at the Dadeland Mall (Courtesy) The mall culture of yesteryear may be on its way out in other markets, but it's very much alive in Boca Raton - and Gen Z is jumping on board, too. The women's clothing store Princess Polly will be opening at Town Center mall in Boca Raton sometime in the second half of 2026, according to an announcement from the brand. Other Florida stores include the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, St. John's Town Center in Jacksonville. Currently, Princess Polly stans have had to drive to the Dadeland Mall in Kendall for a clothing haul. We imagine there will be major crowds to welcome Princess Polly to Boca Raton, which plans to have a celebration with prizes, giveaways and offers. After all, last August, fellow Gen Z-loved brand Edikted arrived at the mall and drew a line of 1,000 fans for the grand opening.
