Shopping at the mall

Shopping at the Mall

At one time in North America, most people shopped downtown on Main Street.

Most businesses were at the center of town.

When people started using automobiles, however, they moved away from downtown.

In time, most people lived in the suburbs.

Eventually, stores and small shopping plazas were built in suburban areas.

Still, most of the big stores were downtown.

But as more and more cars were on the roads, driving and parking downtown became a problem.

There wasn't room for a lot of cars to park downtown.

People also didn't want to fight downtown traffic just to go shopping.

So in the 1950s and 1960s, there was the beginning of large suburban shopping malls and plazas.

Plazas were a row of stores attached to one another.

Malls were usually a double row of stores with a roof connecting both rows.

This means that shoppers did all their shopping inside.

Large department stores and grocery stores were usually part of the mall,

but there were many smaller stores as well.

When you came to the mall and went inside, many people would get a shopping cart.

You can walk along the aisles, putting your purchases in the cart.

When you're finished shopping, you can push your shopping buggy out to the car.

Many malls also have buggies or strollers for pushing small children along.

There can be a lot of walking in a trip to the mall.

In fact, some people go to the mall just to exercise.

A half dozen laps around the mall every morning amount to a pretty good workout.

However, there are always places to sit down when you get tired.

Most malls have a food court. This is an open area with a lot of tables and chairs.

Usually, there are a dozen or more small restaurants circled around the food court.

The department stores often have full-size restaurants.

Malls have large parking lots. Unlike downtown, you don't pay to park at the mall.

On a busy day, finding a space close to the store can be a challenge.

Many people go to the malls when the weather is bad.

During wintry weather, the malls are busy.

Likewise, in really hot summer weather, people go to the malls to get cool.

The climate there is always the same.

People don't go to malls just to shop.

They also go to meet people.

Usually, you bump into friends and neighbors there.

Old people, as well as teenagers, go there to see friends.

Usually, the malls sponsor special events.

With lots to see and do, malls are a popular place to hang out.
