2 Of The Biggest Shopping Malls In America Are In Texas
As far as the old "everything is bigger in Texas" axiom goes, it's pretty much true. It even applies to the shopping malls in the lone star state.
El Paso has several shopping malls with cool shops, mega stores and both locally and nationally owned outlets. Cielo Vista Mall is our biggest one but, no offense, it's got nothing on these 2 Texas malls.
They, meanwhile, aren't the biggest in the USA. In fact, the biggest mall in the entire state of Texas barely made the top 10 on the national scale and the second biggest is in the 20's.
The biggest mall in the USA is the Mall Of America in Minnesota. This behemoth covers 5.6 million square feet and has over 520 stores. It's even got its own freakin' zip code. (55425)
