I’ve always enjoyed buying things physically. Going to local book stores is so much more of a treat than just ordering them off of Amazon or Barnes and noble
i'd take it up a notch and say that the more niche a store's wares the more fun it is. You can always find more fun and special things in a specific shop as opposed to a supermarket
Yeah but when you realize you spending more on the product,. Paying for gas to get there and wasting time on the trip, the joy just isn’t worth it. Not to mention if you want something specific it’s almost always better to look online
Malls are simply a vibe, one of the few things that reminds me of the life before. I like malls, online is fine. But sometimes, i just want to walk around and hang with friends. Also the things you can do! Want to watch a movie at the theater after leaving hot topic? Yes! Let's get some ice cream after too, and maybe go to the arcade. There is so much you can do in a mall!
If they are coming back, they need more boutique shops. Lids, Spencers, and Bath & Body Works ain't gonna cut it. I want to see unique items. I'm too poor to buy anything unique, but I can see them, at least.
My local mall has 3 or 4 "asian" shops that draw a lot of attention apart from the pretzels, lego, and movie theater, the punk/skater shops in the mall could have been a big hit with my generation and drawn in a lot of business but they went pro establishment during the political shift and lost that potential for themselves and the mall. Uniqueness in products and services is definitely something malls need in the current financial climate. Stale copy paste stores aren't going to cut it not start up's or franchises.
What’s hurting malls is that most everything there’s for women. There’s not a lot left in the mall for men. They need to bring back arcades. I bet you if they put in a retro arcade near one of the door locations they would skyrocket.
i mean you go to the mall to shop for clothes and material goods. usually at the larger department stores there are more stuff for men. i think you mean that there's nothing as far as paying for entertainment. at my local mall there's a cinemark theater a super large arcade where our sears used to be. kinda crazy to see. you maybe want to try a galleria mall if you're in the US and have one near you?
Adding entertainment in general is good for malls! Arcades, bowling alleys, movie theaters, all the American malls I’ve been to recently that are doing well have these things, and malls overseas have that and so much more!!
about the efficiency issue, when people order online they are typically only purchasing one item that will have to be shipped overseas, whereas most stores have a supplier and order items in bulk reducing a lot of inefficiency.
I'm a strong supporter of physical shopping over online shopping, however I would be much happier if city downtowns made a comeback instead of shopping malls.
I guess everyone has their taste but in my opinion I rather walk in a nice large air conditioned mall than running across roads and dealing with traffic etc.
I do like the idea of buying things and actually seeing what you are going to get. I hate going online and seeing 100 listings for the same product from different sellers.
Ordering stuff online is so inconvenient, when you buy something online you have to wait way longer then if you just buy something in a store, you can just have it right away, i very rarely order things online.
Honestly, thats the big thing for me. Ive had many projects delayed by alot due to having to order items that i know in the past i couldve driven to a store for a similar item
Oof and package thieves too. One time a delivery driver dumped my package in a bad spot in my yard and not my front door, it got poured on and destroyed by dogs.
Not only that, but there's a 50% chance that what you're buying is crap and a complete waste of money!!💸💸🗑🗑🤬🤬🤬 I can't tell you how much BS I've gotten stuck with over the years.. even when I've read the reviews (AI has made this so much worse because now it's easy to have fake reviews🤖😒) and trying to return it is a pain in the 🫏 so more often than not I don't even bother..🙄🙄 I'd MUCH rather see the product and examine it myself before I buy it and try it on to make sure it actually fits if it's clothing because there's nothing worse than buying clothes online and not having it fit and also finding out that the fabric is crappy, itchy, polyester ick!!!😡😡😡😤😤
I love physical retail and it's always been the superior option to buy in person if you can, i have been screaming from the rooftops that people should be buying in person for years, but i hate the pathetic husk that retail and malls have become.we need a massive resurgence of malls
When I go to a mall since I'm alone I just walk around and I get food because there's nothing I have there nothing they have there I can justify other than food.
The people who genuinely thought buying online was better only to recieve the product half-assed in the box or destroyed are losers, honestly. A mall literally lets me see, touch and smell the product so I know specifically that I'm getting what I want and it's not going to be destroyed except by my own volition when I leave the store.
One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of malls (at least in my state) have increased Asian shops. Some that come to mind are Miniso, Kong Dog, and the massive amount of Bubble Tea
few years back i was in a very vertical lookin mall in chicago and there was this little shop filled with cutsie plushes. one of my friends with me said they lost a plush identical to one she was holding. the cashier overheard and said we could just take it. they said the job sucked and they were gonna quit later that week anyway. it made my friend's day and i still think about that sometimes. i also got a rad shirt that looked like a 90's carpet
The thing about getting clothes in person vs online is so true. There have been so many times when I ordered, say, an XL and it arrived at it was an XL-China, which is like an M-US, which did not fit or felt like it was made out of the cheapest possible fabric known to man 💀💀💀
I hope abandoned malls get turned into apartments and gyms because that would help us (california and NY does that already but other 48 states need to do the same thing)
I know my local mall intends to bulldoze most of the thing and replace most of the property with smaller shops and housing. At least thats the current word around, you never truely know with it
That's kind of lame, malls are one of the last community centers (third spaces). Besides actually community centers and gyms as mentioned. Apartments are sad and terrible, we should just control our population (hot take)
already can tell you why. cause malls. are realizing they cant sell out to mega companies anymore and its a safer bet to lower prices and put local/regional options in there place to keep the mall alive and the place afloat because unlike small business. big businesses can just go some place else.
People in the Montreal area still rush to the mall (pick one, there are many) whenever a holiday is coming, especially Christmas. Sure, online shopping is nice, but nothing beats the feeling of walking into a store and physically inspecting the item you want to buy. Online shopping doesn't come anywhere close. Well, except if you're me and you need to find a book you really want in English!
my Roman Empire is and always has been the impact and importance of the american mall, enormous props to you, your research and time spent is appreciated ❤
I love going to malls mostly for the reason of just striking up a conversation with a cashier, me and my friends had a decently fun convo with a game stop employee after we had watched Across The Spider-Verse, and another time where I talked to a Spencer’s employee about Alien Romulus, it’s just fun to meet new people even if they’re not meant to stay in your life for very long
Yessir our mall is still kicking. It helps that it still has most of it’s big anchor stores, and a local movie theater. It’s something else to walk though it! Like stepping into the JCPenney feels like going back to the early to mid 2000s.. 🥲
My “local” mall is the busiest I’ve seen it in like 7-8 years, but it’s problem is that no vendor wants to stay there because the owner keeps raising the rent on everyone so all the unique stores keeps leaving.
Thinking back i spent so much time at our localest mall and i actually miss going with friends shopping around christmas time, thats a whole different vibe in itself! Our localest mall where im from just went down hill in the past 15 years losing so many stores but the mall where I live now is just thriving to the point that its weird seeing a mall with modern day looking kids!
I just like going places to get things tbh its so much more fun to spend a day in a new area than just do a couple clicks and start waiting. It also gives me excuses to try local food places when i'd normally just eat mcdonalds slop or the £8 pizza place near my nans house.
Malls can also have different things to do now. In my favorite one there's a Round 1 that has an arcade, bowling, pool, and karaoke, there's a movie theater though it needs better seats, there's a Legoland Discovery Center with a Lego store up front, a really cool Bass Pro Shop called Outdoor World, and a Rainforest cafe which has some neat aquariums and water features. Another part of malls coming back is having a lot of stuff to do under one roof.
there's a galleria mall near where i live that's always full. it's difficult to find parking on the weekends. it makes the world seem less bleak that people still want to go out and shop instead of doing online shopping.
All valid and interesting points, but I feel like we are all (maybe not ALL, as the video did make references to it) severely underestimating the importance of physical space. There is so much data about how healthy it is for humans to just do things that seem boring, like walk, or interact with human beings. We are built to be this way, and we should stop pretending like we can sacrifice all of this on the altar of convenience. Sure, when cool new things come out...like online shopping...we think "wow, so cool that I don't have to go anywhere now" without considering the cost to our physical and mental health, and the amount of memorability things gain when you actually DO them, not pretend to. If you have heard of a thing called "memory palaces", it becomes clear how important physical spaces are for memory. Basically, I am just reiterating some of the points in this video
While last mile emissions are very important, don't forget that Amazon has made a deal with USPS. This means that they are using a service that was going to come to your house anyway to deliver mail to also deliver most packages. This in theory adds density back to USPS routes following dwindling mail usage due to lack of necessity.
@Warp2090 It's clearly you lol. Sir/Ma'am, do you know that there used to be over 1700 open malls in the country last in 2005. In 2022 the census revealed there were only 600 open malls remaining and projected that by 2028 there will be around only 150 open malls left. 🗒️📒
Funny thing. From what I hear, malls are only dying in the U.S. where everything's spread out and they're hard to get to. Apparently, Amazon's not killing malls. Poor urban design is.
huge resurgance in my local mall recently, last time I went I was actually suprised with how full it was even had some new stores I think alot of people feel this way now.
The mall in my city is always packed, I wish there was more entertainment in the walkways and not annoying salesmen, but its still bustling. I never believed malls were gonna die. Theres not a lot of hangout spots left, so we have malls. The restaurants at the mall are super good, and some stores provide decent clothes without the sales tax etc
I miss the small local mall we once had. It no longer existed shutting down in 2012 if my memory served me right. It was such a great place. All that remains, a reminder of the past is a food court. Which used to consist of many of the former food locations. Different structure but did house them for a time. Aside from that a solution to help Introverts is to add kiosks where we can order our food and then optionally pay at the counter. Something some Taco Bells do. It would help some introverts slowly open up more.
I didn't stop going to malls because of online shopping. I stopped because of the predatory browns that mug you in the parking lot or break into your car.
10:23 another thing is that you care more about what you buy and you’re less likely to throw it out when you buy it in person if somebody gets a stain on something they bought on the Internet they tend to be like OK whatever and I’ll throw it away and that’s bad for the environment
as someone over 30, ive never stopped going to malls or to stores to buy things even though i shop online. i hate waiting and would rather pay a bit extra to have it immediately, if i can.
we are mall culture here in the Philippines always have been, even with the rise of online shopping. People here are practical and have good common sense with these kinds of things seriously
I went to a mall to do some shopping this holiday season, it wasn't popping off like I was expecting it to be, but wasn't dead. The store choices are trash though.
We have 2 malls in my city. Only one I would say is thriving, like regularly packed and full of stores. But I’m glad we have the other one too for a few things and a more chill in person experience. It also has more local small businesses like a little record store which is really cool
I’ve always enjoyed buying things physically. Going to local book stores is so much more of a treat than just ordering them off of Amazon or Barnes and noble
i'd take it up a notch and say that the more niche a store's wares the more fun it is. You can always find more fun and special things in a specific shop as opposed to a supermarket
I know what you mean, I've found books I'd wouldn't have been aware of just by looking around a book store.

Ok, so unique items that mostly don't get bought. So more like a museum, then?
There's a growing store brand called Mini So that sells imports.
seriously, I'd go to malls way more if there were more unique stores / boutiques.
What’s hurting malls is that most everything there’s for women. There’s not a lot left in the mall for men. They need to bring back arcades. I bet you if they put in a retro arcade near one of the door locations they would skyrocket.

Absolutely. I’d go out and shop in physical stores so much more often if I could walk or take the bus there. I hate driving.
I guess everyone has their taste but in my opinion I rather walk in a nice large air conditioned mall than running across roads and dealing with traffic etc.
@ Some malls are built and integrated into downtowns rather than away from them. The best example of this is Eaton Centre in Toronto.
Malls provide a lot of jobs for people on local communities while Baldy's uses robots to sort boxes
Malls just give more people opportunities for jobs and for more people to interact. They're just good for people tbh
This ^^
It’s like that with me whenever I go to Hot Topic at the mall near me. All the people who work there are just so nice!!!

In Europe malls never became unpopular as far as I can tell.
It’s funny cause malls in Australia never really went away, or became less popular.

It was amazing tbh
I went to a mall to do some shopping this holiday season, it wasn't popping off like I was expecting it to be, but wasn't dead.
The store choices are trash though.
This video was awesome and funny 😂
I always liked Malls! Im lucky the one next to me is still alive
6:31 STPP NOT THE VANS WARPED TOUR SIGN u r funny asl
hopefully they rebuild the mall in my city
You better go to the Philippines and how they are still thriving today.
We have 2 malls in my city. Only one I would say is thriving, like regularly packed and full of stores. But I’m glad we have the other one too for a few things and a more chill in person experience. It also has more local small businesses like a little record store which is really cool
I used to live in a college town, the mall was (and still is) absolutely amazing, it was full of people.
I moved.
Now I have a Dead mall.
This is my new favorite Chon video. Literally too litness

Make malls cool again
