What if anything is the benefit of going to an enclosed shopping mall other than the anchors like Macy's they sometimes have?

I really like the stores here, where you can park outside and go in and get what you want without having to walk and walk and walk to get there. Belk is a decent department store and we have almost every other store that are national chains.
Like The Villages, a mall is a total experience with a theme, ambiance, shopping, food, and an assortment of stores some of which are not found outside of the mall. it is also great for people watching. I admit that I like a mall much better than going to individual stores. I rather be in air conditioned comfort with all the stores in close proximity so that I do not have to go back to my car, fight parking lot and highway traffic to go a few blocks only to repeat the process over and over again.
