SHOPPING
Major Malls
Houston malls are more than just a place for indoor shopping. Several of the area's larger malls have adopted a "community center"
format at which local residents enjoy dining, movie theaters, seasonal live entertainment, amusement centers, and, of course, shopping. The region is home to more than 20 regional malls, most of which are
shopping anchors for their particular area of the region.
The Galleria, one of the Southwest's largest shopping malls, is home to the nation's most prestigious retailers.
