This is the Southdale Center, America's first indoor mall when it opened in 1956. Seventy years on, many malls face an existential crisis as shoppers move online, while others transform to survive.

Today's Big Read on #FTEdit 👉 The reinvention of America’s shopping malls ft.trib.al/ihJMbsJ
The Southdale Center, located in a Minneapolis suburb. was the country’s first enclosed and climate-controlled mall when it opened in 1956. The photo shows a busy mid-20th-century indoor shopping centre with a high, open atrium. People in formal, vintage clothing stroll, sit, and talk across multiple levels connected by wide staircases and ramps. Large spherical pendant lights hang from the ceiling, and planters with greenery and a decorated Christmas tree suggest a festive season. In the foreground, a man in a suit holds a small child in a red coat, while shoppers and families gather throughout the space. A line chart titled “US online sales grew rapidly during the Covid-19 pandemic” showing ecommerce as a percentage of total US retail sales from 2016 to 2025. The line rises steadily from about 8% in 2016 to around 10% by 2019, then spikes sharply to over 16% in 2020 during the pandemic. It falls slightly in 2021–22 before climbing again, reaching roughly 16–17% by 2024–25. Source: US Census Bureau and Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis.
