that was built out of the city middle of no where because there was not enough water and land to do it in the city, and yet still full and now Costco and others opened next to it, plus a new mall built across it. there are like 10+ malls withing 20km

something is different maybe the weather leads more people to liking to go to a warm place in the winter? but then again many parts of the world malls are doing well.
