supermall
Massive shopping center
A supermall is an exceptionally large shopping mall, typically featuring hundreds of stores, entertainment facilities, and attractions beyond retail—theme parks, aquariums, ice rinks.
The term emphasizes scale: The supermall had its own zip code.
Regional malls expanded into supermalls during the 1980s and 1990s, though the format has declined with online shopping.
