    Parking garages are expensive compared to lots.

    The mall probably also is in bumfuck nowhwre, meaning Therese bear unlimited space for other shops and their own parking lots

      Definitely more expensive to build but I think most malls could get away with charging a small fee for parking. The amount of people who are addicted to shopping , it would pay for itself in no time.

        I imagine they have worked out that they make more money with free parking encouraging people to shop. Same reason big box stores have free parking.

        Malls make you pay for parking either way, “free” parking doesn’t exist. The cost of building and maintaining the parking lot is recuperated from increasing prices.

        Then they’d take the parking lot spaces from another buissenes next to the mall.

        Parking garages are only worth it in high density spaces like middle of the City. But most malls and Walmarts aren’t in the middle of the City, they’re someplace outside where there’s enough space for as many parking lots as you want

          But if we put in a garage to begin with would could choose to make our shopping centers more compact .
