I live in King of Prussia. I have requested the Patch folks add Upper Merion/King of Prussia to the Patch family of locations. Unfortunately, no response. We have a vibrant town that could benefit from a Patch group. <Linda Spreeman>

Linda, I agree. I know we've discussed our wish list for new Patches locally at our Montco group meetings, but the decisions about where and when new sites launch happen at the corporate level.
I'll ask the higher ups if KoP is on the launch list yet and let you know where we stand. In the meantime, Norristown and the Norritons keep me pretty busy, but I'll still trying to keep an eye on the KoP area when I can. :)
