Mall of America — Bloomington, Minnesota

Mall of America generates more than $2 billion in annual revenue, making it America’s most profitable shopping center. Its 5.7 million square feet contain 520 stores, a 7-acre Nickelodeon Universe amusement park, an aquarium with 10,000 creatures, mini-golf, and 50 restaurants. Since opening in 1992, it has welcomed over 650 million visitors — 40 million annually. While its 520 stores seem modest next to Dubai Mall’s 1,200, Mall of America’s revenue per store ($3.8 million) is 20% higher than the average top-10 mall, driven by its tourism-heavy catchment and iconic status.
