The Future of MallsMalls are a reflection of the people
who shop within them. They reflect the patterns, desires, and represent
how society changes. They are dictated by these fluid trends and
thus, malls grow, stores and selection varies, and they are redesigned.
Therefore, it is likely that the mall which is currently present will be different in several ways to better meet the needs of the consumer.

up, going to the mall was a special occasion.Thinks the mall is a crazy place, and does not
enjoy seeing how society has changed.IN 20 YEARS: She thinks that there will be no
malls, because people will become even lazier than they are now and will do all of their shopping online.
Mom (Lori) – 44 years old. Loves the mall.Technology changes are what she notices most
from when she was growing up (touch screen registers, atm machines).

Final ThoughtsThe mall is versatile and changing, as it
was meant to be. In order to meet the wishes of the customer against
competition, the mall must adapt. This comes in various forms, from redesigning
their environments and rebranding themselves, to more subtle alterations
such as technology or adding venders. Malls continue to evolve and improve the shopping experience in order to draw in
and please the public.
