A Shopping Mall (or simply mall), Shopping Center, or Shopping Aarcade is a building or set of buildings that contain stores, with interconnecting walkways enabling visitors to easily walk from store to store. The walkways may be enclosed.

In the British Isles and Australia, shopping malls are more usually referred to as shopping centres or, sometimes, shopping arcades. In North America, the term shopping mall is usually applied to enclosed retail structures, while shopping center refers to open-air retail complexes.
