minimall

Small retail center

A minimall is a small shopping center, typically a single building or strip of storefronts with a handful of retail spaces.

It's smaller than a traditional mall but more organized than scattered standalone shops: There's a minimall on the corner with a dry cleaner, a nail salon, and a pizza place.

The term blends "mini" and "mall."
