Why is the American mall dying? Some say nearly half of shopping malls will close down during the next 20 years.

Because you can buy literally anything online without having to hulk your 300lbs Amerilard ass out of your chair.

VR shopping (which I predict will come soon if not already existing) will kill malls further.

Not for basic shit.
pants: 3 measurements: length, waist, and inseam
shirt: if american market originally, large. If jap/euro market originally, xl.
Shoes: stick to tennis shoes, sandals, and converse.

I wouldn't buy a clothing product online that I wasn't already familiar with or already wore. The exception being shirts that I buy for the design, in which case you contact the company and ask for actual measurements and materials.

eBay killed the shopping malls. Even I, who live in Norway, don't give two shits about a shopping mall. I get what I need from online stores and get packages delivered to my door. I don't even have to get dressed, which suits me just fine.

May I ask why I should go to the mall? Take lip from some shithead at Apple (who, for the most part, has no idea about their products' basics) when all I want to do is buy a tablet?

Why should I deal with niggers whose sows drop them off for free babysitting? Fat people unable to remember that walking is like driving in the USA, stick to the right? Coughing disease clouds?

Shitty college drop-outs running stands outside the stores trying to sell me plastic shit or perfume? Obsequious department store faggots desperate to sell me some overpriced shoes as I am forced to walk through their store to enter the regular mall?


Fuck all that man. If malls catered to a proper shopping experience based on price, customer services, and ambiance then it might be worth it.

Otherwise it's Amazon and maybe an IRL scouting trip to do a look&feel before buying.

There are two answers for this.

1. Online shopping has expanded from what it was even a decade ago.

2. Malls are located in urban settings which are associated with liberal politics. The malls in the suburbs are pressured to accept busing which brings in niggers from the inner city. This RUINS the mall. Yes this has happened all across the Midwest.
>>
I actually visited my local mall yesterday, I found it really creepy how empty it was. I remembered walking through the same mall as a little kid and it being full of wonder and always packed with people.

Now it's just full of overpriced goods and has cheesy center kiosks with "cash for gold," "hoverboards," and "cellphone cases." There also hasn't been an arcade there in nearly ten years. The area of the mall that used to have arcades is still eerily dark and closed off. If you're a little kid, there is nothing there for you. The toy stores don't exist anymore.
>>
I don't know why you nerds think the internet killed malls. If that were the case walmart and starbucks would also be in decline.

The real reason is that shopping habits have changed. Malls usually only offer cheap, trend-chasing clothes.

Strip malls and stand alone stores have become more popular.

Do you think /fa/ggots are shopping at your local mall? the answer is no. they go to botiques and independent stores that curate a selection of items.

You fat nerds, shut up!!
>>
I used to like going to malls during late90s-early00s, now it's utter shit.
Also I used to have better erections back then.

it's actually kind of interesting, we still have a shopping district here that's always bustling with activity but the mall 3 blocks away has 1/3 of its major lots unrented because nobody goes there

personally I despise the local mall because any time I went there as a kid it'd be a 4-5 hour day and shopping is fucking boring when I could've been skateboarding or playing goldeneye

Heh, I remember you. But since this is a politics board, we should stick to the economic factors. My takeaway from that thread was that you had a mix of two essential factors:

1. People with spare time and spare money, with a need for a way to socialize and spend both.
2. A fun and practical place to do all of the above in addition to the shopping you'd have to do otherwise.

Niggers infest city malls.

Even more to the point, niggers infest our CITIES.

White people have basically fucked out of all major urban areas in favor of suburbs and countryside.

I mean fuck sake. I live in Houston and some of the malls around here aren't even SAFE, much less NICE.

Niggers hang out in malls all day fucking long because they don't work or do anything. They just go there to socialize and shoplift.

in no particular order
1) Dying middle class means less disposable income for both parents and their children, meaning less business
2) Malls are filled with niggers and spics these days. Nobody wants to be robbed so they use common sense and avoid these areas.
3) Social climatology has changed. 'Mall Rats' used to be how younger people socialized; now everybody is on Twatter sending selfies to each other from their own homes.
4) Malls are overpriced.
5) Mall parking sucks ass.
6) You can buy it on Amazon in your underwear.

I like to go there and lean over the empty balcony and look at the closed stories and bare tiles and dream about the 90's. When I was a kid the malls were packed with people every day. Kiosks with people trying to pull you aside, bizarre niche stores that were great to browse, and an arcade full of kids and teens and that one "cool" 20-something year old guy that could beat everyone at marvel vs capcom 2. They even had a little business students would run for practice in running a business.

The 90's were a glorious time.

desu senpai my wife and I only go to the mall to shop for groceries at target, clothes at JCPenney, and maybe some food at a restaurant.

Aside from the anchor stores, my local mall is 90% clothing stores. The only non-clothing store that seems to survive and thrive there is gamestop. Sometimes a non-clothing store pops-up, but it quickly goes out of business after a year.

Malls are for clothing, walking in and out of gamestop, more walking, and food.

Thankfully Italy still has a strong tradition for smaller shops, especially in the South.
Even our Super Markets are pretty small and are often cooperatives.

Because malls in America are depressing. Full of niggers, Hispanics and ugly people. I live in downtown of my city. Which is considered high end, and I rarely get to see white trash, Mexicans or blacks. I do my grocery shopping on whole foods and other upscale stores.

I have been in Tokyo and the concept of malls is totally different than in the us. It is definitely more enjoyable to shop there

Malls are dying because they are composed of big box stores on the extremes and little niche shops lining the insides between the big box 'anchor' stores. But big box retailers are dying because online shopping, and niche retailers were already hurt from online shopping before the big box stores even felt it.

There are very few reasons for malls to exist practically, it's more for the experience, now. Not sure why, but something feels good about walking through a mall, even if you don't buy anything. I think that is the only reason any will be around in the future, people will have the mall itself be a destination with a bit of shopping thrown in.

Malls benefit from dense populations, especially if that population has money to spend. This is why malls in Tokyo and Yokohama are booming. Its the same here in the bay area except the malls that dont have luxury stores are on the decline.

But there are some things you just want to be able to look at yourself or try on first, or you need to talk to somebody who knows more than you do to find what you need. There could be a happier medium with stocking at least one of everything, ditch most or all of the the rest of stock on hand, and just have whatever you pick out delivered. Or something like that.

Otherwise free returns on 20 different size 14 shoes just because you don't know which one will fit is going to be the way it goes.

If you go to a hipsters market, something like a Whole Foods, then yes it will be.

Most of the farmers markets I go to around here (south central Pennsylvania) are what you would expect - fresh produce, butchered meat, jerky, pies, etc. No hipsters to be found, these places are "dirty" - aka they don't have asparagus water, or fresh cracked walnuts that listened to NPR for an hour before they were "hatched".
>>
>>69401818
>farmer markets in USA are expensive as hell
Depends where you go. If you're out by actual farms, it's cheap, fresh, and much better than you can get in a store.

If you're at one next to a college or a some other urban area where they can get away charging an arm and a leg for actual fresh produce at all, then it'll be expensive, especially if they can call it organic or sell home-made jam or some other specialty item like that.

Yeah, a lot of them use GMO. That's why the ones who can say they sell something better can charge so much more for it. GMO is a curse.

No point in having malls when I can order shit online for 1/2 - 1/10 the price.

The seeds are usually marked and the price difference is almost nothing when you're just growing for yourself. I used to grow out of some buckets on my tiny front porch. Easier than I thought, but you have to keep up with the watering because there's not a whole lot dirt in a bucket to hold water.

Probably the harder part would be meeting the zoning and construction codes. Even though UN Agenda 21 enclaves where your living and shopping (and work) are all in a little enviro-bubble is the plan, it'd still be cheaper to build it from scratch with a nice UN grant (via the federal government) right on a nice new rail project or limited-access highway project.

If the mall's already a ghost town, it might not even be cost effective to knock it down and build all-new there.

Less usable income, so no one is willing to throw down gas money on top of buying something if they can get it cheaper with free shipping/reduced distance other places.

The only thing wrong with turning malls into FEMA camps is that they'd be impossible to control. Really all you could do is seal off all entrances and exits and occasionally air-drop supplies. It would basically be like sending people to die in gas chambers, except they all kill each other and die from diseases.

I remember when Going to the mall was an experience in itself. it was a social thing. I live in a relatively small suburb with nothing to do, and only 1 mall, so it lived on a bit more over here, and kids still hang out there, but the atmosphere just isnt the same. there arent nearly as many interesting stores, and the decor leaves much to be desired. they used to have fountains, but the central one was paved over to make way for booths because theres no more room, and the ones on each end were replaced with shitty benches and some fake palm trees.

it just isnt the same. we used to have a disney store with a WB store facing it, and they both had neat stores. the WB store had a statue of liberty bugs bunny which was cool. the WB store is now gone and the disney store is kind of shit aside from some admittedly nice plushes.

when I was a kid there was a nickelodeon store, full of gimmicks and shit. KB toys was a thing, Waldenbooks, it had anything you could think of that might interest a kid.

all those are gone now, usually replaced with shitty clothing stores.

on the bright side, the mall is getting an expansion that includes a movie theater, which the area does lack. so that might bring some nice things to do

The last time I went to a mall it was absolutely packed full of people, so I don't think they're in any danger of dying out entirely. That said, while a trip to a mall can be a fun and unique experience, open shopping complexes can offer the same goods at a lower cost to builders and tenants. Cities will probably just settle with having one or two malls instead of having one in every suburb.

For me, it's not because of the convenience of online shopping, it's just that there's nothing of value at malls.

Our mall does NOT have

>electronics store for components (not just games, you retards)
>grocery store for food
>Theatre
>Arcade
>Food court (coming soon, but probably gonna be chinks)
>Good clothing stores besides H&M, which already took away 65% of the male section
>A music store
>An Apple store (Not that I'd need it)
>A GOOD hardware store (Sears sells garbage)
>A sporting goods store (It's gone)


Clothing here is shit. It's 90% female-focused and most clothing for males is pleb-tier shit for fatties and basic bitches like Sears, Macy's, or Penny's. The rest are Hot Topic for teens.

>Clothing for slim men
>Everything looks hipster-ish like boat shoes, chinos, and shawl-neck sweaters

>Everyone else
>Fatties, spics, and women

Until malls have something of value, there's no reason for me to go, unless I need a burger and a necktie.
