Abstract: A shopping mall combined with an entertainment facility includes a drive-in area with a large video display screen adapted to provide visibility of images displayed thereon during daylight hours. A centralized parking lot has a multiplicity of parking spaces oriented towards the screen, and retail stores are situated adjacent edge portions of the centralized parking lot. When entertainment is projected on the screen, a transmitter sends corresponding audio signals to audio receivers in cars parked in the lot. The retail stores are in a number of interconnected buildings, arranged substantially in a U-shape, which may also include offices, residential suites, hotels, or other functional uses. The large screen is situated inside a central portion of the profile. Optionally, a cruising track may surround the centralized parking lot. The mall may also include a restaurant, fueling station and/or a decorative arrangement aligned with the large screen.
