"The nation’s largest shopping mall, located in Bloomington, Minnesota, opened in 1992 as a purpose-built entertainment destination featuring a 7-acre indoor amusement park, multiple movie screens, and dozens of restaurants; it draws roughly 40 million visitors a year and helped anchor regional tourism. A later, roughly $325 million luxury expansion added an adjoining hotel, upscale retailers, and a strategy to centralize dining, which prompted tenant relocations and the loss of certain immersive features at long-running eateries. As big malls confront e-commerce and changing habits, this complex has both reinvented itself around experiential attractions and faced the reality that nostalgia for older, theatrical tenants remains a valuable draw." - Justine Jones
"Guy Fieri has a chicken spot coming to the Mall of America - where the Cake Boss also has a bakery." - Joy Summers
