[quote=“Khrysanth, post:55, topic:5981”]Shopping malls - 2 to 3 anchor stores, usually larger department stores or clothing stores (JC Penney, Macy’s, Sears, etc.) though supermarkets were used before, and some are returning as anchors.
In between these you have specialty stores - electronics, shoes, specific ‘styles’ of clothing, music, games, bath supplies, hair care and salons, ‘oriental’ stores, art shops and so on. Occasionally you’ll even still see an arcade. Then, of course, you have the kiosks in the center of the halls - Board games, figurines, phone covers, and so on.
The “main entrance” of the mall is usually dominated by a food court. Truthfully, the main entrance is usually less used than the anchor stores to enter the mall (the anchors are there to be the primary draw into the mall.)
Generally you’ll also have stores, gas stations and attractions outside the mall but linked by the large parking lot which surrounds the entire structure.
This is how real malls are set up. I haven’t seen how yours is yet. I just wanted to throw this out as somebody who has spent far too much time in malls.[/quote]
Anchors aren’t uniformly department/megastores, but pretty close. There’s one or two that are restaurants (and our local mall has that, so 's all good) and the majority is interior mall-space. Large square structure surrounded by parking lot. acidia can certainly go into greater depth, but that’s the short version.
