Sure. They’re most useful for early morning walkers and after-dark wildings.
In case you just had to watch the fashion show:

It’s quite bizarre.
That isn’t shopping, it is an amusement park.
If you go to one during the “wrong” hours, you may end up dead
I’m certain the local mall is not basing their business planning on how many times I plan to darken their doors in the future. I might make it 5 times in a big year.
Step 2) Look, touch, taste, test, and compare the items you are interested in purchasing.
Step 3) Choose the make/model/options that exactly fit your wants and needs.
Step 4) Whip out your phone and look up the chosen item on Amazon, compare pricing to the in-store item, then hit 'Buy Now.'
The mall is for women and cloths shopping..they should have gotten Base Provshops in there failing department stores and maybe Homedopt or Loews with just tools and paint...men will not go there..
They may not be dead, but I know my patronage is about 1% of what is was 20 years ago.
Correct. And Jeff Bezo's knows this. My belief is that malls that fail are either in areas that are stagnating economically and demographically, or they just don't take the time to invest in making the place attractive to customers.
Yup. The mall closest to where I live is relatively healthy (though the Sears closing has left a huge gaping hole in the middle of it).
Each time I walk through there I come to realize more and more that the target audience for malls is NOT men over 50!
Go online. All sorts of people express nostalgia for malls that are no longer around.
If I were in the mall business I’d sell the nostalgia. Make them sort of a 1980’s theme park where you can actually buy stuff.
I stated it before: malls wont die, especially if the mall has a movie complex. Just like taxis were thought to be extinct, you still see them with Uber.
Big malls are finished....only people pushing them are construction companies and leasers....
I will not set foot into the local “Mall”. It is infested with out of control punks and overpriced junk.
Ignore the Lazy Pessimists, Despite Online Shopping, Shopping Malls Are Far From Dead;
I don´t know. The one near me, except for seniors doing their daily power walk, is empty enough to emulate a democrat brain. Reports of deer roaming some of the halls have surfaced lately.
Malls will turn into recreation centers...women shop and dad and the kids go do something...climbing walls...ice skating.. what ever
It does seem headed that way. I am told that the local mall’s food court thrives. I think “everyone gets to eat what they want” is the secret to that.
WOW you have me beat by about 4 times/year.
I HATE shopping malls. They tend to have such an artificial hyped feeling. To make you feel like you MUST buy some stuff or you are a loser. Then they have rack after rack of the SAME overpriced merchandise, no one around to help you, NOT the item you are looking for.... Then if you do find something to buy, have to go through some third degree at the checkout to be sure they know how to hassle you in the future by phone/text/and/or email.
