The history of malls.

The history of malls 

      The malls were made after WWII. malls used to be for everyone to go to, they had sports bars for the dads they had shopping for the moms and had candy stores arcades and some stores for kids also.they had these malls because they wanted everyone to get together. Malls used to be a hang out spot for kids and adults. 

 

      When did malls really come in popular? They came very common 1980-2000 when most of your parents were teens. After covid the malls have really been a downfall no one wants to go out and most people like to shop online.

 

       What is the oldest mall?  The oldest mall in the world is Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan it has sotres in it such as Versace, Gucci, Armani, Borsalino and Luisa Spagnoli.

This mall is not in the United States, the mall is in Milano MI, Italy. But the oldest mall in the United States that is still around is Country club plaza  that is Kansas City,MO.

 

        Mall of america is a very big mall and it was made in 1989. There are 520 stores and 60 restaurants. The Mall of America is still the biggest mall today. They get 40 million visitors a year. It is only 4 stories long  but is 5.6 million square ft. It would take around 86 hours to walk around the perimeter.

  • I love this topic as I grew up with malls. I loved them when I was your age. I do think yoiur summary could be longer and include more information. You did a great job replying to people! 

  • My favorite mall would have to be Westroads in Omaha because that mall was the first big mall I've ever been to. I would pick going to the mall over online shopping because driving to Omaha and walking around a mall is a greater feeling than sitting on my bed shopping online and looking for stuff that I like. 

  • Honestly, I haven't visited many malls, for this reason I couldn't say that I have a favorite and obviously I don't know the Mall of America. I prefer to buy in person because that way I can make sure that everything is fine with the garment and prevent some accidents.

  • I don't really go to many malls so I wouldn't say I have a favorite one. I do prefer shopping in the mall, mostly clothes because that way I can try them on before I spend my money on them. My favorite stores are definetly target, sephora, and ulta. 

    • I do love all those stores!!

  • I don't think I could pick a favorite mall, they're all pretty great. I personally prefer shopping online because shopping in stores can get to be quite stressful when you're by yourself. But when I'm with friends I will definetly shop in stores. My favorite store would have to be aerie.

  • I have not been to many malls but my favorite one that I have been to is Mall of America. I do like shopping in malls but it really depends on what I am Shopping for. I have been to Mall of America. My favorite store is probably Dicks Sporting Goods.

    • I like to go there also 

  • I really like to go to many different malls. I've been to many bigger malls around here in person. I really enjoy both, I feel like online shopping is more efficient and could be cheaper without the gas money and such. But I feel like in person shopping builds relationship and memories with the people you're shopping with.

  • I usualy do more online shopping then going to malls however I think that I would go to more malls if their were more then just a couple around. I have never been to Mall of Ameraca however I know that both of my parents have been.
