Kanye West 'Pop-Up' Store Makes Its Way To KOP

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA (CBS/CNN) -- Kanye West announced plans to open 21 retail stores world-wide -- but just for the weekend.

One of the "Pablo" pop up stores will open at the King of Prussia mall.

The rapper/designer's pop up stores will sell clothing inspired by his latest album "The Life of Pablo".

According to Vogue, the gear will include t-shirts and hoodies with the name of each city where the temporary stores will be open through the weekend.

A report says only three people will be allowed into the blacked out store at a time -- and shoppers can not touch any merchandise before buying.

Items for sale include a $400  military jacket and a $50  baseball cap.

If other countries are any example, crowds should be expected to hit the pop up shops with a vengeance.

In Melbourne, Australia hundreds of people stretched in a line around the block waiting to get their hands on the fashions. Kanye's clothes have writings done in Gothic font by the artist Cali Thornhill.

In February West said he was $53 million in debt, a year after he said trying to launch his fashion line had put him $16 million into the hole.

In March, West had a pop up store in New York which reportedly brought in $1 million over three days.
