Talk:Shopping mall

Cleveland Arcade
The Cleveland Arcade, the oldest shopping mall in the U.S (1890), and partially inspired by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (1877), really deserves a mention, and probably a photograph. Please take a look at its Wikipedia page. SteGenevieve (talk) 15:07, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Ukranian nalls missing from ranking
There are multiple major malls in Ukraine that would be big enough to join the ranking. Furthermore the Blockbuster Mall is Europe's biggest. Makes no sense leaving it out. Refer to the article below. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shopping_malls_in_Ukraine 2003:E3:5746:CB66:7D53:265E:7C18:7BA7 (talk) 18:47, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Australian Malls Missing?
Malls in Australia are seemingly Missing. Chadstone shopping centre (#1 AUS) seems to easily make the list. Fountain gate (#2 AUS) might make it too. Worth looking into? 2001:8003:5CF4:3700:2416:6E5:3504:9308 (talk) 02:21, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Newspaper article on malls rebounding
"Malls have rebounded thanks to an unlikely source: Gen Z" (Los Angeles Times) Mapsax (talk) 02:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I saw that article. But that trend is not going to save America from the fact that it still has far too many malls and shopping centers, as well as the fact that power centers and lifestyle centers have lower overhead and lower prices than traditional malls. For example, traditional American department stores, the shopping mall's traditional anchor, are still slowly dying.  It's not clear when America will find the right number of department stores that can survive against e-commerce, Walmart, Amazon, and Zara, and now fast fashion sites like Shein and Temu.  It's probably going to take another decade for excess older malls to finish dying and for the American shopping mall industry to eventually stabilize around a core group of popular upscale malls. --Coolcaesar (talk) 06:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
