00:00Shopping malls are a popular gathering point for young and old, once thought
00:04invincible. But with the rise of online shopping and the realities of an
00:08uncertain economy, the mall may be dying. Recent estimates say one in four malls
00:13could be out of business by 2022. Still, many aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
00:18Here are five of the most successful malls in the country.

00:28biggest shopping destinations in South Florida. Surrounded by beautiful
00:32resorts and ocean views, it hosts events like movie screenings and the Great
00:36American Bake Sale. Del Amo Fashion Center is a result of the 1981 combining of the
00:41Del Amo Shopping Center and the Del Amo Fashion Square. The biggest shopping
00:45center in LA, Del Amo has been featured in movies and shows like Bad Santa, Beverly
00:50Hills 90210, and Valley Girl. South Coast Mall specializes in luxury brands and
00:56hosts regular fashion exhibitions. Instead of a conventional food court, South Coast
01:01features 30 high-end restaurants, including one from former Top Chef
01:05contestant Amar Santana. Pennsylvania's King of Prussia Mall opened in 1963. Though
01:12not the largest space on this list, it does hold more rentable retail space than
01:16any other mall in the country. The Mall of America has so much going on, it would
01:21take a whole nother video just to detail it all. The world-famous 129-acre complex
01:26hosts 42 million visitors a year. It holds 520 stores, an aquarium featuring 4,500 sea
01:34creatures, and Nickelodeon Universe, the world's largest indoor amusement park.
01:39Currently at nearly $2 billion a year in revenue, it's safe to say it'll take a lot to bring
01:45this monster down.
