A '''shopping mall''' is a collection of [[store]]s in one location, with a single [[parking]] area for the stores and the stores easily accessible on foot. Malls can be indoors or outdoors. Malls enable convenient [[shopping]] without having to drive between locations or find separate parking for each store one shops at.

Malls enable convenient [[shopping]] without having to drive between locations or find separate parking for each store one shops at. Malls no longer require large anchor tenants, typically department stores, as more recent mall design has moved to attracting people to the malls with many speciality stores.
The shopping mall is in part responsible for the decline of small, [[downtown]] business areas by attracting people away to the [[suburb|suburbs]]. Downtowns have changed over to introduce high-end speciality stores and other attractions (such as arenas, aquariums or parks)
