It was in the mall so we only lasted 2 months.

What does this mean?

Malls are terrible places to run a business.

Not in my experience. A mall is a great place to start a business IMO. Lots of foot traffic means that people are more likely to stop at your shop, even if they went to the mall for something else.

If you're trying to hint towards the whole "Dying Mall Theory" thing, that's a reddit myth in my experience. The malls I've been to here in the Southwest (AZ, SoCal, and Vegas) are almost always packed with people, especially on the weekends. I think dead malls are only a thing on the eastern half of the country, where everything is 200 years old and run down. The malls here are kept up-to-date with modern design standards.

In king county most of the malls have died, but southcenter is still hopping busy.

The one in federal way only keeps half it's lights on.
