El Mall of America, also known as MOA, Moa or megamall, is a large shopping center located in the town of Twin, suburb of Bloomington, in Minnesota. The mall is located southeast of the intersection of Interstate 494 and Minnesota State Highway 77, north of the Minnesota River and across the interstate from the Minneapolis-St. Paul.
In United States, is the second largest shopping center, of course in terms of space. This large shopping center was inaugurated in 1992 and just to give you an idea of the number of people who come to the place, in 2006 it had 40 million visitors. Would you like to go shopping in such a spectacular mall? Now you can!
The Mall of America has a total area of 390,000 square meters, with 230,000 square meters available in stores. The shopping center is located near the symmetrical building and more than 250 stores are distributed in the three levels through which you can walk with peace of mind. Likewise, it has a fourth level on one side, where there are also very good stores. An additional plan to the north of the shopping center will allow the opening of 900 stores; Apparently this place does not stop growing! We know that the shopping center is quite large, but you will like to know that it is organized in four different areas, each with its own decorative style.
Despite temperatures in Minnesota being below freezing during the winter, only the entrances to the mall are heated. The heat is produced by the electrical elements that are inside the place and also by the employees. In fact, even during winter, the air conditioning system needs to be running non-stop, to ensure a comfortable shopping environment. If you go by car, don't worry as you will find two seven-story ramps to the east and west of the mall, which provide parking for 12,550 cars. The parking lots in the north and south of the building provide a total of approximately 20,000 spaces.
Just so you know some additional information, the concept of the shopping center was designed and built by the Triple Five Group, whose owners are the Ghermezian brothers of Canada And interestingly, they are also the owners of the largest mall in North America, the West Edmonton Mall.
