  • I don't have a fovorite mall. I think it depends what I'm buying like I would rather buy clothes or shoes in a mall but if I need to just buy something real fast online shopping s really good for that. Especially since I don't have to waste gas for a quick shopping trip. I have been to Mall of America. I would have to say my favorite store is Aerie.
