Do you think the shopping mall could ever make a comeback?

It seems to me that the only real downside to shopping at a physical store is the long line to pay for your item.

The downside to online shopping is that you have to wait for shipping. And possibly not knowing if you ordered the right size (when buying clothes)

But if they can make the retail experience similar to how Amazon makes their grocery stores…where you can avoid lines and pay thru a store account (or Apple Pay or something similar) I think more people would prefer to buy things in person.

Or do you think malls are dead and never coming back?

I mean from an environmental perspective all this online shopping can’t be good…with all the planes and trucks needed to deliver things polluting and all that.

NO / Bush the thread...

I don’t think Malls make a comeback to small towns with no money. Big cities will always have big shopping malls.

 

[NeoSeeker]

Probably not. Amazon and smartphones killed malls. People today have so much more they could be doing than spending afternoons at the mall.

 

[Unknown Poster]

Nope. It's 100% over.
We're going to be telling future generations about these malls like they were a relic of a time now completely gone.

A lot of that experience was built around socializing/entertainment. Modern people have different ways of seeing things and filling their time so its about as likely to comeback as VHS rental.

The world comes to you now. We used to have to go to it. Big difference in this new level of the Game that is loading.

Fixed for accuracy

The metaverse will have malls

 

[F*ckthemkids]

I think flagship/high end malls will always be around, but the mini, strip, and "city" malls are a thing of the past.

You had to be there.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

People shooting and fighting in and around malls is helping to kill them

The internet destroyed everything. It’s a gift & a curse

Online shopping is more convenient

Youngins meet women online now. The old days over

I'm confident the malls I've visited the most outside of my city will survive(Easton in Columbus, Galleria in St. Louis)

A mall I went to for the 1st time about 8 yrs ago in Chesterfield, Missouri, is damn near a ghost town. Most traffic it sees now is the amc theater and cheesecake factory
