  • A mall after business hours
  • A mall with no stores
  • A mall that has been condemed
  • A mall with high vacancy rates or low consumer foot traffic
Explanation

A dead mall refers to a shopping mall that experiences high vacancy rates or low consumer foot traffic. These malls often suffer from a decline in popularity and business due to various factors such as changes in consumer preferences, competition from online shopping, or economic downturns. As a result, many stores within the mall may close down, leaving a significant portion of vacant retail spaces. The reduced foot traffic and lack of active businesses contribute to the dwindling vitality and functionality of these once vibrant shopping centers, earning them the term "dead mall."
