Most US malls are outside cities and aren't really centrally located. You have to drive to a lot of them and on top of that the stuff is often overpriced. The convenience factor goes to online ordering, in that case, on top of lower prices, which makes the choice extra clear. So most US malls are at an intense disadvantage, have been falling apart and are struggling to figure out how to adapt.

I see. Didn't know that.
Yeah malls here tend to be in densely populated urban areas. Although some aren't that successful and a few have closed down... but those are small malls that mostly survive from the food places they have. Those smallish malls from the 80s are no longer that successful here, with people preferring the large ones
