Probably the Lake Square Mall on 441 in Leesburg. It is a small mall. A bigger mall is the Paddock Mall on 200 in Ocala. No matter where you go, have fun shopping!

Would agree Ocala, they actually have one enclosed and one open air that is brand new.

I am going to ask a dumb question, but everyone knows I am NOT an English Major.

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.

About the only thing I can think of is STAYING COOL thru your whole shopping trip , instead of going in and out of the heat. I for one would definitely prefer staying on the cool side. Helps me think better, and shopping requires alot of thought!

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.
