=== History ===
The Carenzian National Mall was built on June 14, 1961, by the construction company Cartocon for Emerson International Real Estate Corporation. Its first tenant was a small clothing retailer then known as A. Ivanov and Sons. Soon it grew, and now over 80 stores are in the mall, not counting food courts and booths. In 1967, a terrorist organization known as the Carenzian Liberation Force bombed the main plaza as well as the two main parking garages. Almost 1000 people were killed, making this one of the most deadly terrorist bombings in Carenzian history. In 1968, because of the bombings, Emerson IREC went under, being purchased by Kusnetsov Co. (soon to become JSC Kusnetsov). Renovations were done, and by 1970, the entire main plaza and the garages were rebuilt. They were built with a new style, mainly because Cartocon backed out of the project. The supermarket chain LuckMart opened a location in the building around this time as well. In 1971, both Vikon opened a dealership and Corinas Airways opened a ticket booth (for the nearby Citisia National Airport), because of the extended growth of both the mall and Citisia. They have had substantial growth since with the only major expansions happening in 1983, 1992, and 2004 respectively.
