Finally, some good news involving malls.

It seems like we see news about malls struggling on the daily - any brick and mortar, really. There was just an article released about One of Minnesota's Largest Malls being considered a ghost-mall because of how many of their store fronts were sitting empty.

Fortunately, that's definitely NOT the case for Minnesota's number one mall. Dare I say, America's favorite mall.

Sure, this place has been labeled One of the Worst Tourist Traps in the US, but we still love them and they are obviously crushing it.
