If you’re going to brave the streets and stores on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), you might as well head to one of the best shopping hotspots in the country. (Our featured image screams “ka ching!” and is by ell brown.)
Here’s our pick of the 5 best shopping malls in America.
Mall of America – Bloomington, Minnesota
If you go by the numbers, there’s no contest. The Mall of America has around 520 stores, some 50 restaurants and attracts more than 40 million customers every year. To put that into context, if you spent 10 minutes visiting every store you’d be in the mall for 86 hours! Not only does it have more stores than every other mall in the US, it has also got the world’s largest indoor amusement park and a huge aquarium. Oh, and there’s no sales tax on clothing in Minnesota. Black Friday specials

Woodfield Mall – Schaumburg, Illinois
Woodfield is the fourth most-visited mall in the entire US (Mall of America is the first), and with good reason. The many of its specialist food, fine art, jewellery and clothing stores are the largest of their kind in the country. Woodfield has some 300 stores and 31 restaurants in total.

Sawgrass Mills – Sunrise, Florida
Few places in the US feature Sawgrass Mills’ large mix of budget outlet stores and high-end fashion boutiques. Its 350 stores are spread between an enclosed core, outdoor entertainment zone and an outlet strip. All the deals and offers
South Coast Plaza – Costa Mesa, California
If it’s chic shopping you’re after, look no further than South Coast Plaza. There’s no better evidence of the luxury and designer couture in residence, than the fact this mall rings up more sales than any other in the country. An Orange County landmark, it featured in the movie Clueless and on The O.C. South Coast Plaza holiday information
