What Malls.info covers, and how we verify it
Malls.info is a shopper-first guide to US shopping destinations: where to go, what is there, what is open, what is new and what is on sale. Every figure below is computed from the live dataset when this page renders — none of them is typed in.

Latest announcements
First-party announcements, each restated from the live dataset.
- Malls.info relaunches as a sourced directory of 102 US shopping destinationsThe rebuilt site publishes 5,590 store listings, 1,654 dining listings and per-centre hours, events and offers, each recorded with the page it was read from.
- Malls.info publishes verified opening hours for 88 shopping centresEach set of hours carries the URL it was read from and the date it was read, and centres with no published centre-wide hours are shown as such rather than filled in.
- Malls.info wires 328 retailer deal feeds into mall and brand pagesLive promo codes are matched to the 220 brands that appear most often in the store directories, then surfaced on the centre pages where those brands actually trade.
- 640 brand pages answer which malls carry a retailerBrand hubs list every centre a retailer trades in, plus outlet locations, verified hours coverage and live codes — a cross-property view no single operator publishes.
Coverage
What we cover
Provenance
Where the data comes from
Each source class, what it gives us, how we read it, how often, and — just as important — what we do not claim from it.
| Source | What it gives | How we read it | Refresh | What we don't claim |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mall-published pages | Opening hours, events, in-mall promotions | We read the centre's own hours, events and offers pages and record the source URL and the date we read it. | Hours weekly; events and promotions every three hours | We do not claim hours we could not read on the centre's own site. |
| Mall store directories | Store listings, level, category, store photos | Directory pages are parsed into structured store records, each linked back to the directory it came from. | On refresh runs | We do not add stores from memory, press coverage or guesswork. |
| Public retailer deal feeds | Brand promo codes and offers | Feeds are ingested, matched to brands in our store graph, and expired offers are removed automatically. | Daily | We do not present a feed offer as an in-mall offer. |
| Tripadvisor | Visitor rating and review count | The published average and count are read and shown with a link and the read date. | Periodic re-reads | We do not average, adjust or estimate a rating, and never show one for a place with no sourced figure. |
| Shopper submissions | Reviews and promo codes | Submissions stay pending until a human approves them, and are labelled as shopper-contributed. | On approval | Nothing unmoderated is ever published. |
Method
How we verify
Verified
Read from the centre's or retailer's own site. Shown with a source link and a "checked" date, which is the date we last read that page — not the date the fact was first published.
Corroborated
Consistent across multiple credible sources but not stated by the operator. Shown with its sources, never labelled verified.
Unverified
A lead only. Never presented as a current fact, and never used for structured data, opening hours or offers.
Corrections
Reporting a wrong fact
If you operate a centre or a store and something here is wrong, tell us and we will re-read the source page. Where your own site already states the correct fact, the next refresh picks it up automatically — usually within a week for hours and within three hours for events and offers. Shopper-submitted content is removed on request.
