I think the rise of big box stores has more to do with cost than anything else. Mall rents are expensive because the tenants are also paying for a significant area of common spaces. As the market became more competitive retailers were forced out of malls. This is why the trend in enclosed malls seems to be towards higher-margin luxury retailers who can afford those expensive rents.
