SHOPPING MALL
◦ A shopping mall (or simply mall) is a
North American term for a large
indoor shopping center, usually
anchored by department stores.
◦ The term "mall" originally meant a
pedestrian promenade with shops
along it (that is, the term was used to
refer to the walkway itself which was
merely bordered by such shops), but
in the late 1960s, it began to be used
as a generic term for the large
enclosed shopping centers that were
becoming commonplace at the time.
 MULTIPLEX THEATRE
◦ A large cinema/movie theater with several separate rooms with screens (or)
◦ A building, especially a movie theater or dwelling, with multiple separate units.
◦ Theatres are of different types. Now a days we can find four types of theatres.
◦ They are
1. Multiplex
2. IMAX Independent second-run
3. Drive-in theatres
◦ Movie theatres usually sell various snack foods and drinks; the points of sale are
called concession stands.
◦ There may be a counter, self-service where one pays at the counter, and/or coin-
operated machines.
◦ Sometimes the area of sale is more like a self -service shop than a lobby (it is not
suitable for consuming the goods), and one pays at the check-out between the
shop and the area with the screens.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SHOPPING MALL

◦ The importance of a shopping mall is

mainly for people to get out of the
house for a while and do something
entertaining.
◦ Shopping malls can provide the best
shopping experiences such as social
gatherings, entertainment,
performances, product launches,
promotions and festivals.
◦ The events list at shopping malls goes on
and on for any, particular, person to be
entertained for a number of hours.
