      Shopping Malls Usa - Sandra Collins

      AUTHOR

      INTRODUCTION

      The mall shopping center is an interesting place. It is of course not just a place to go shopping, but it has become a multi-purpose place. Normally, people used to go shopping in downtown areas of cities and go there for other activities as well, but they now go to the mall. It has become a fixture of modern life, one of those things that we can't imagine doing without. For a relatively modern development, the mall shopping center has been a successful idea that has made fortunes for developers, investors, and retailers. What it has done for the average person is another story, but its importance in everyday life is huge, and the influence of the mall is everywhere.

      It seems like the primary function of a mall these days is a social space, a place for people of all ages to meet up, eat, talk, and generally hang out together. For young people, it's the only place to get together and socialize. For others, the shopping center is a place to walk (mall walking is an established practice for older folks) and meet friends, but they have other social spaces like the church, the community center, and so on. But for the young crowd, it's the mall or stay at home.

      Not only is the mall shopping center the gathering place, but it's also a place of entertainment - lots of people go there to escape boredom. They do this by window shopping, enjoying the food mart, and going to the movies - many theaters are connected to malls or even inside them. There's something about the bright lights, the music, and the sights and smells that make the mall a great place to go for entertainment of all kinds. Big shopping malls have become tourist attractions as another one of their many functions. The Galleria in Houston, Texas and the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota are examples in the United States, and similar mega-malls bring tourists to countries around the world. The sheer size of these places is the usual attraction, but of course, they serve a purpose for shopping and other activities as well.

      Mall shopping centers have become the homes of restaurants too, and not just in the food courts. Many restaurants cluster around the periphery of the mall, connected adjacent, and on the outskirts of the parking lots. These days, if you want to go out to eat at a chain restaurant or a local favorite, chances are you'll be heading for the local big shopping center. Services of all kinds relating to personal care have taken root in the best shopping malls. You can get a haircut, get your nails done, get a pedicure, get your cell phone upgraded or serviced, get your ears pierced, and so on. All of these services used to be provided in separate storefronts in downtown areas and strip malls, but today you'll find everything you need in a mall shopping center.

      Of course, the main reason for being a shopping mall is for shopping - it's a great place to buy just about anything. Anchor stores are the famous big names in department stores, but there is always a wide variety of stores to choose from for spending your hard-earned money.

      Big mall shopping centers have pretty much replaced downtowns as shopping attractions in all but the largest cities. Even there, they serve a range of functions that would have amazed the original developers of these facilities. What started out as a way to put several stores under one roof, has become the mega-mall, the place to be!

      SHOP IN USA

      A vacation or trip in the United States is not complete without visiting the best places in the land. Aside from tours and sightseeing ventures, before going home, tourists and visitors will surely go shopping for souvenirs or gifts to bring home.
