I went to a mall in Australia, in Perth, that reminded me a bit of Brentwood, it had a similiar fabric roof. It had 4 Grocery stores in it! a Coles, Woolworths, IGA and an Aldi and all were busy, I think people are loyal to their choice. I don't think I've ever been to a mall with more than 1 grocery store.
Anyway some of the suburban malls I went to in Australia are full of high end brands. I went to the largest mall in Australia in Melbourne, Chadstone. It has every high end brand and the missing ones were on their way like Hermes & Piaget. They have Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Moncler, Miu Miu, Celine, Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Laboutin, Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Furla, Valentino, Red Valentino, Loewe, Bottega Venetta, Givenchy, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Emporio Armani, Armani kids, Omega, Rolex and more but most of them had velvet ropes outside them and both Louis Vuitton and Gucci had long line ups to get into the stores and the stores inside looked very busy. Also had Coach, Michael Kors, Rag & Bone, Chloe, COS, Diesel, GStar and Superdry which has stores everywhere.
The customers were pretty much all chinese they definately cater to the tourist market there. Most of these brands also have stores downtown.

In a lot of malls they have stand alone stores for Chanel and Dior that just sell the beauty products and Fragrances, I could see them opening that concept at Brentwood.
This Chanel beauty store was located across from Sephora.
