Kids Mall for kids only

  Kids Mall for kids only and parents with credit cards :)


 Kids Mall is designed particularly for kids and all their needs parents are welcomed at kids Mall   { Only if you act like a kid* } 


 Kid, mall online is exactly what it says it is. It's Not"a store online with just products, but a actual virtual mall online with shops. A list of shops ( websites ) that you can shop and compare just like your local mall, but it's designed just for babies and kids.


 In the 1970s the boom of the shopping mall took off and the construction of large indoor shopping centers got the attraction of many shoppers.  In the 60s and 70s as more and more people started to move from the inner city to the surrounding suburban cities the shopping malls flourished.

The first recorded shopping mall 

Market Square
Chicago, Illinois
Year 1916 
Arthur Aldis designed an integrated shopping complex of 28 stores, offices, and apartments, with parking accommodations, for the wealthy Chicago suburb of Lake Forest. It shares a claim as the first planned automobile-centered shopping center.



Northland Shopping Center
Southfield, Michigan
Year 1954
World's largest when built. Designed by Victor Gruen, with 110 stores on two levels in a cluster layout, with a department store anchor at the center.






The largest mall
Mall of America
Year 1992
Bloomington, Minnesota
This four-story mall, with amusement park, aquarium, and several full-service restaurants, in addition to a food court, is the largest (as of 2005) in total area.


Today malls are still popular but have lost some of their shiny appeal as they had in the 80s and 90s and into 2000. The advancements in computers and online technology has started to open a new door for shoppers.  Online shopping is now becoming more popular with more people shopping online than ever before.  The Internet is now becoming more safer and a lot easier to navigate than ever before and with new advances in technology opens up a whole new way of shopping.

Online shopping malls have just started to take root and gain popularity, just like its predecessors the local shopping mall.  With more new affiliates starting to open their virtual stores online new ideas of shopping are starting to develop.

Online shopping malls are a lot less to develop compared to your local shopping mall, it can specialize in one particular niche ( product or service) .

Here you are seeing one example of a particular niche Kids Mall, Kids Mall only offers products and services for babies and kids and young teens.

OGSM ( Online Grocery Stores and Malls) is one of the first banner ads shopping malls and grocery stores. OGSM owners have been in the off-line mall and grocery store business for over 25 years and have brought the idea of making on line shopping more fun. OGSM uses banner ads when ever possible instead of text links. This is a new concept and gives the shopper a better idea of what the site is about compared to text links.  

OGSM plans on opening more specialty online malls in the future with many categories of malls precipitately focused on niches that are common and hard to find.
