alt Hacker NewsYup, that's why molls were so successful. They were deteriorating because of Internet, as a new "moll", covid speed up the process. But, frankly speaking, molls also killed many mom & pops shops scattered in the cities. So this is just evolution, I am not sure if it goes in the right direction, but consumers have the last word and they have spoken, even though, in the long run it hurts them.

"Mall": a physical aggregation of independent stores in a single location, usually renting space from a single landowner.
"Moll": a mobster's girlfriend.
Your paragraph becomes quite amusing if one assumes you didn't make a typo.
moll | mäl | noun informal, dated 1 (also gun moll) the female companion of a gangster or other criminal: I'd rush the money over to his moll. 2 a prostitute.
I think you probably mean "mall".
