Most of the people like mall because one can find many things in one place, from electronics to cloths and from restuarant to theater. If somebody does not have to buy anything also still they go to a mall for window shopping.
So, what do you like most about a mall? How often you go to a mall?

Only time I've ever shopped at a mall is when I need major work on my car, & have a lot of time between connecting bus lines. One of my longer trips require 3 buses to get from my place to get to. The two places I need to change buses both happen to be in the bus areas at malls.
It seems that the prices of things at the various malls are overpriced, & the stores there are expensive. While browsing around one of the stores, I did manage to find a pair of shoes that I had just bought from another shoe store - BUT - they wanted almost 3 times the amount of money I had paid at the other shoe store.
The only real thing I like about the mall is some of the food places do serve a nice quantity of great quality food, to the point that by the a friend & I were finished eating, we were both almost too full to move. Best of all, as heavy as we both felt, we didn't even put on extra weight.
From my house to the first mall, there used to be a music store called The Wall that had changed its name, & then suddenly vanished. That was where I used to buy a lot of music on CD's. There used to be a Rite-Aid in that mall also, but they got kicked out, & it was not because they did not pay their rent. Some rip-off store wanted that area, & therefore, Rite-Aid had to go.
The other mall had its bus layover nice & close to this certain entrance in which there was another music store (Record World) & a book store. Both places eventually ended up closing up, & then quickly replaced with something else. They also moved the bus layover to where I need to walk through a parking lot to get to. As a result, I no longer shop at that mall, other than to maybe look around.

Well have to admit that pesonally I am not so keen on Malls. I find them a bit too big and impersonal. We do have them here in England but I still prefer just walking down the High Street, where you get lots of little, individual boutiques and shops. Also I like to go to the local market where you can buy crafts and unusual jewellery, and home-grown fruit and vegetables.

I only go to the mall for Christmas shopping. I learned to do my shopping in October to avoid the crowds. That is the only time that I go. There is a variety of shops and plenty to buy, but I hate the crowds. I prefer to do my shopping online.

I do like shopping when the stores are less crowded. Stopping to shop on the drive home from work may seem like a time-saving strategy, especially if the store is on the way. However, if you work 8:00 to 5:00, you will quickly find that a great many other people had the same idea. Traffic and long lines arent the only problems you will encounter. Your resistance to impulse buying is also lower because your energy level is at low ebb.

Shopping malls are one of the first places that I go to when I feel bored. Not necessarily to buy but I get a kick out of watching people and accidentally finding things that I think will help me in my daily existence. It also a good place to exercise for free by walking endlessly in an air conditioned environment. I also like going to the supermarket because there are times I get lucky to save on snacks. Some companies offer free taste of their products and I am just too willing to try. LOL.

I love to go to the mall so much because I love shopping in brand-name stores in the mall, especially they have a lot of stores what I can get to see and buy a lot of things.
I'm not going to the mall often because each time when I go shopping I have a really big shopping so that's why. = =*

well manythings lol
1st of all , shopping malls should be fully airconditioned and well organized
i think shopping malls have to be as big as they can , and can support people at the maximum of their needs , they must keeep everything a person will be in need of , thats what i believe a mall should have.
i was wondering for a guitar in a mall , it was such a big mall but i cannot be able to find one of my need , so i think these things should be considererd while opening a mall.

I like to go to the mall to see what's on sale and catch some bargains. Most of the time I have my headphones on so I can ignore the idle chit chat that everyone seems to compelled to engage in. There are a few mega malls in the area that have everything under the sun in it. After a couple of hours I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack if I don't get away from the crowds.

The ambience. What I also like in shopping malls is that you could meet old friends there while shopping. I go the mall everyday actually. I need to buy some stuffs like groceries and school supplies.
