Mall of America is a mega mall located between Minneapolis and St. Paul. It offers more than 500 stores and at least 50 eateries. It houses nightclubs and cinemas for entertainment.

In 1982, 78 acres of prime real estate became available when the Twins and the Vikings, Minnesota’s pro baseball and football teams, moved from the Metropolitan Stadium to the Metrodome. The site was a mere one and a half miles from the St. Paul International Airport, close to major highways. The Bloomington Port Authority bought the site with a view to development.
In 1986, the Ghermezian brothers signed an agreement to develop one of the country’s largest entertainment and retail complexes. The mall offers a huge number of stores on three levels of walkways. A fourth level is situated on the east side. It offers about 12287 parking spaces, with space for overflow parking.
