Shopping Malls
Experience Commerce Like Never Before with Capitalism Lab’s Dynamic New Feature – Shopping Malls!
Designed to cultivate a diverse realm of retail outlets under one convenient roof, our shopping malls level the playing field and bring a thrilling new element to the economic landscape.
A shopping mall doesn’t just host multiple stores; it creates a dynamic marketplace that traces the complex network of consumer flow and demand.
Draw customers in and boost sales with a dynamic mix of stores that appeal to a broad audience. This exciting feature utilizes a smart algorithm, factoring in the type and mix of stores, to determine and boost the customer traffic in your mall. Not just one, but all stores benefit from this increased traffic, demonstrating the attractive principle of collective growth within capitalism.
The boosted consumer traffic is indicated by the overall rating of a shopping mall. It’s determined by:
1. Area Customer Traffic
The area’s customer traffic index, where the mall is situated.
2. Boost from Service Firms
Service firms such as restaurants boost traffic by attracting customers to the mall.
3. Range of Products and Services
The range of products and services offered by all stores in the mall.
4.Average Product/Service Rating
The average rating of products and services from all stores in the mall.
This innovative system effectively mirrors the inherent advantages of physical shopping malls, allowing businesses to leverage each other’s customer base for cross-promotion, offering a collective and enhanced shopping experience that attracts a broader customer spectrum.
With Capitalism Lab’s Shopping Malls feature, experience the ebb and flow of commerce in an immersive, intricate realm. Tactically place and manage a balanced mix of stores to increase customer traffic, and watch as the power of collective retail begins to flourish.
Get ready to transform your approach to retail, as the Capitalism Lab raises the stakes and takes business synergy to the next level! Witness the richness of capitalism come to life as each shop rides the collective wave towards enhanced profitability and sustained growth.

Store Lease Renewal Alerts
In Capitalism Lab, you have the flexibility to relocate or close your mall stores in malls owned by other companies without incurring penalties. Leases are automatically renewed unless the landlord decides otherwise.
The game notifies you when your store leases are renewed with significant rent increases. By default, you’ll receive an alert if the new rent exceeds the market average by 10% or more.
You can customize this alert feature in the Options menu:
– Turn alerts on or off
– Adjust the rent increase threshold (default is 10%)
For instance, if you set the threshold to 20%, you’ll be notified when the renewed rent is more than 20% above the market average.
This feature helps you stay informed about changes in your rental expenses, allowing for timely business decisions.
