Malls used to be a hang out spot for kids and adults.

  • I perfer going to the store then online becuase in the store you can get better discounts. But I also think online shopping is so much easeir becuase you can look online and see how much more is avablivable then in the store.

  • My favorite mall is westroads mall. I like online shopping more than in-person, but I understand why some people like in-person shopping better. My favorite store is probably Lululemon. Lululemon has stores in Omaha and also an online website that I like to shop on.

    • I shop online and in person. But going to the mall is more fun because you can buy things that are on sale that aren't online.

  • I sometimes shop at malls and sometimes online. When I go to malls, I can see if something fits exactly how I want it but I hate spending a lot of time shopping so I like to be quick. If I buy something online, it's usually something that I know will fit. My favorite store is Nike.

  • My favorite mall is the Jordan Creek mall, it's well-kept and very popular. The mall has so many popular stores and I feel like I could get anything I want in that place. I love online shopping, but when I'm not sure what size would fit me for clothes or shoes I prefer to go out and shop at a mall. I've never been to the Mall of America, but I would like to go someday. 

  • My favorite mall is Jordan Creek in Des Moines because they have a big selection of "on-brand stores. I like to shop at malls like when I need to get a lot of clothing, like back-to-school shopping but If I only need a couple of things I think it's easier just to do it online. 

  • I love going to jordan creek mall. I feel like it is the best mall in Iowa. It is still full of many stores. I hate how there are so many malls in America that are dying. I feel like online shopping is killing malls. I would rather go to the mall.

  • My favorite mall is Mall of America because it is so big and there is a lot to do there. I prefer shopping in a mall rather than online because I can see what I am buying really is and the condition it is in. I have been to Mall of America twice, and it was a lot of fun. My favorite store to shop at is probably Scheels because there is a wide variety of things to buy. 

    • I have never been to mall of amarica but I would love to go!! Going to the mall is always good to see many options.

  • I have been to the Mall of America and I really liked it with all the stores and different variety. But, I had no clue that there was 520 stories. Also, I like just going to the one store because then you don't have to see another store that you might want to go into. And eventually spend a lot of money that you wouldn't of if you just went to the simgular store.
