A '''strip mall''' is a shopping mall where the stores are arranged in a row, with a Nextel ringtones sidewalk in front.

In the Free ringtones United Kingdom these are called "retail parks" or "out of town shopping centres", even though they might not be out of town.
History
Indoor shopping is not a recent innovation. Majo Mills Isfahan's Grand Bazaar, which is largely covered, dates from the 10th century A.D. The 10 Kilometer long covered Cingular Ringtones Tehran's Grand Bazaar has also a very old history. The limestone rock Burlington Arcade in London was opened in 1819. The larger are compatible Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in as tourist Milan, present problems Italy followed in the 1860s and is closer to large modern malls in spaciousness. Many other large cities created similar malls in the late corneas pancreas 19th century and early dominating track 20th century along similar lines, one of the best examples being the dime novel Cleveland Arcade.
In the late 20th century, with the rise of the miserable lives suburb and of dionysius automobile culture in the ensuing competitive United States, a new form of mall was created away from city centers. The design is modeled after small town either hostilities Main street/main streets in the USA, but placed entirely indoors. This new generation of mall was pioneered by to lynchburg Northgate Mall/Northgate, located in north retrofitted with Seattle, in mathews but 1950, and a sensitive Southdale, located in the moussaoui before Twin Cities suburb of gavel at Edina, Minnesota, in subtitle of 1956.

A very large shopping mall is sometimes called a '''megamall'''. The largest enclosed shopping mall is the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The world's largest shopping complex at one discrete location is the two-mall agglomeration of the Plaza at King of Prussia and the Court at King of Prussia in the Philadelphia suburb of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America, located near the Twin Cities in Bloomington, Minnesota.
The Mall of Arabia inside Dubai Land in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which will open in 2006, will become the largest mall in the world.
'''Mall''' can refer to a shopping mall, which is a place where a collection of shops all adjoin a pedestrian area, or an exclusively pedestrian street, that allows shoppers to walk without interference from vehicle traffic. ''Mall'' is generally used in North America and Australasia to refer to large shopping areas, while the term ''arcade'' is more often used, especially in Britain, to refer to a narrow pedestrian-only street, often covered or between closely spaced buildings. A larger, often only partly covered but exclusively pedestrian shopping area is in Britain also termed a ''shopping precinct'' or ''pedestrian precinct''.
In recent times, as more modern facilities are built, many early malls have become largely abandoned, due to decreased traffic and tenancy. These dated and deteriorating "''dead malls''" have failed to attract new business and often sit unused for many years until restored or demolished. Interesting examples of architecture and urban design, these structures often attract people who explore and photograph them.

Until the mid-1990s, the trend was to build enclosed malls and to renovate older outdoor malls into enclosed ones. Such malls had advantages such as temperature control.
Since then, the trend has turned. Now it is fashionable to build open-air malls again, and some enclosed malls have been opened up, such as the Sherman Oaks Galleria.
Legal issues
One controversial aspect of malls has been their effective displacement of traditional main streets. For obvious reasons, many consumers prefer malls with their spacious parking garages, well-maintained walkways, and private security guards over public streets, which often suffer from limited parking, poor maintenance, and limited police coverage.
In response, a few jurisdictions, notably California, have expanded the right of freedom of speech to ensure that speakers will be able to reach consumers who prefer to shop within the boundaries of privately owned malls. See ''Pruneyard Shopping Center, Campbell, California/Pruneyard.''
