When referring to a location, a [[mall]] is a large [[indoors|indoor]] [[shopping]] center, usually anchored by department [[shop|stores]]. 

The term [[mall]] originally meant a pedestrian promenade with [[shop|shops]] along it, but in the late 1960s, it began to be used as a generic term for the large enclosed [[shop|shopping]] centers that were becoming increasingly commonplace.
