Building a shopping mall in Marawi City is the first and one of a kind. For sure, it
will blossom bigger. With the mall culture we have nowadays, no wonder mall
has become big business, as they have large number of shops selling various
products and services.
It will be advantageous because the shops are housed in a complex. Groceries,
clothes, shoes, reading material, food courts, cinemas and entertainment are
available in one place. Anyone can spend a whole day at the mall, shop, dine,
watch a movie or play games. They are great meeting places for friends to catch
up over coffee or a meal in the food court. Families who decide to visit a
shopping mall in the weekend or on a holiday for a family outing is because it is a
more convenient option especially because parking is provided.
