The Chicago suburbs are home to dozens of shopping malls, also called shopping centers, that feature a wide variety of shops and larger stores. Malls can be good places to go when comparing prices for major purchases, like furniture or appliances, or just for browsing through stores as a pleasant diversion. Most malls have at least one department store, such as Nordstrom or Marshall Fields.
Some malls also have movie theaters which feature several screens for a variety of films.
