Sure, online shopping is convenient, but it’s no replacement for the fun of whiling away an afternoon at the local mall with friends. You may have picked up a new necklace at Claire’s or a tube top at Wet Seal, but the point of these outings wasn’t really about shopping per se. Before trends were shared on social media, the mall was where tweens and teens went to discover what was “in,” like creamsicle smoothies at Orange Julius, vanilla-scented lotion from Bath & Body Works, and sunflower prints at Contempo Casuals. While some of these trend-setting shops continue to live on, others went the way of capri pants and skinny scarves. Here are 10 mall stores of the past we wish we could visit one last time.
