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.

  • My favortite mall would be Mall of America because they have lots of stores to choose from also resturants. It also has a lot of entertainment too. But if I had to choose online or shopping at a mall I would choose shopping at a mall because I like being there but I like when online shopping has deals. My favorite store would be Target but for online I would choose Amazon. 

  • I like to go to the Jordan Creek Mall because they have a lot of stores that I like to shop in. I prefer in-person shopping because then I can check if the clothes actually fit, or they are good quality. I have been to the Mall of America, but I was very little and I don't remember it at all. 

  • My favorite mall is The Mall of America. It has a ton of restaurants, stores, and entertainment. I pefer going out and shopping at the mall unless a sale is going on online. My favorite store is target because they have everything from clothes to make up.

  • My favorite mall is The Mall of America, it has restaurants, rides, stores, and lots of entertainment. I like to go shopping at malls, however sometimes online shopping is less time consuming and more efficient. My favorite store is target because there is so much variety there, and I like their clothes and hair products.

  • I personally love going to the Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines Iowa with my family. I like shopping in person better than online because I think its a better experience in person rather than online. I have never been to the mall of America it is somewhere i will be going soon.

  • I haven't been to many malls, but I reall like the Mall of America. It's so fun to see all of the different stores and restaurants, and they have an amusement park inside of it. I definitely online shop more than actually going to a mall, but I like malls more because it's fun to go with friends.

  • My favorite mall is Mall of America, I prefer in person shopping for the fun factor. But, I like online shopping for all the good deals prior to shopping in store. I go to Mall of America a lot. My favorite store is probably aerie, or the lego store :)
