(US) Walking in a mall as a form of exercise.
An American phenomenon and exercise practice in which people walk laps inside shopping malls, particularly in the early morning hours before stores open. Mall walking became especially popular from the 1980s onward as a low-impact fitness option for older adults seeking a climate-controlled, flat, and safe indoor environment. Many malls have officially supported mall-walking programs with measured routes and organized walking groups. The term carries associations with suburban American culture, senior fitness, and a particular era of mall-centric social life.
(chiefly, North America, Australia, New Zealand) A pedestrianised street, especially a shopping precinct.
(British) A retail store floor supervisor.
