This day in history: The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota opened on this day in 1992. At the time it was the largest shopping mall in the United States.
At the time, the West Edmonton Mall was considered the largest mall in the world.
According to Geeks for Geeks, the largest shopping malls in the world now are:
1. New South China Mall in Dongguan, China
2. Golden Resources Mall in Beijing, China
3. Central World in Bangkok, Thailand
4. SM Mall of Asia in Manila, Philippines
5. Dubai Mall in Dubai, UAE
6. West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Canada
7. SM Megamall in Manila, Philippines
8. Istanbul Cevahir in Istanbul, Turkey
9. Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
10. Siam Paragon in Bangkok, Thailand
I have looked at several lists and the Mall of America is not included in the top 10 on any of them. However, it has come to my attention that the Mall of America has expanded to 5.6 million square feet, and that the West Edmonton Mall (WEM) is actually 5.3 million square feet which would put them in 3rd and 4th place.
