I ve been to Spencer's only once, well probably some 3-4 years ago !

But i can give u some tips on how a General Mall (as it is referred to as)

A Mall can be of two big giant openings ....
ONE - The Mall is one single opening, where Retailing happens under one roof ... U have supermarkets, Branded showrooms, Brunch corner and much more under the same umbrella that is the mall ....
TWO - The Mall is just a base which allots seperate space for every branded showroom or supermarkets or brunch corner or multiplex ... where they are allotted / rented their own space. The onus is ultimately on the hands of the individuals ....

The MALL concept is wat u have to ponder in the net ... u may get many more info ...

A suggestion to make ... Instead of making a comparison between a petty shop n a mall ... take the Retailing business over the world and then compare ....Compare the Metro malls n Online malls ....

This could be an interesting approach !

this is just a suggestion !
