Most malls are the same. They almost always have at least one large
store such as a Macy's, Target, Sears, or JC Penny's that serves as an
anchor store. Some malls have multiple anchor stores. Selection of
products depends on the store and the mall. There is no rule of thumb
that says one state has better shopping than another. |
