Better than being out in the middle of an industrial area.

    Malls are cool again?

    It’s that some ironic retro coolness?

      I’m out of the loop personally but it wouldn’t surprise me given how many things we’ve seen make unexpected comebacks.

        I lived through the first time they were cool, and now they’re getting cool again as people realize buying everything from Amazon sucks.

          Yup. Sitting at home and just accumulating stuff without going out gets boring

      Malls have never been out of style at least in Asia’s megacities. The malls in US are just terrible that’s why they died out.

        They overbuilt. Outdoor malls aka “Villages” are the trend now and are doing well around my area.

        I adamantly believe that the American mall died because Orange Julius went out of business. Like what’s the point of even going to a mall if you can’t get an Orange Julius to go with your Hot Dog on a Stick and Auntie Anne pretzel?

          Partnered with Dairy Queen in Canada, I still get one every time I go to the mall.
