The intelligence layer
behind retail expansion
Malls.com tracks where retail is actually expanding. Store openings, mall developments, and brand moves across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Not speculation. Verified signals, sourced directly. The platform covers 5,000+ shopping centers in 50+ countries and maintains a directory of 80,000+ retail store locations, indexed by brand, geography, and mall operator. When a brand enters a new market, opens a flagship, or signs a lease in a new corridor, we track it.
Three ways we deliver intelligence
Built for professionals who make expansion decisions — not for general audiences.
Malls Money — weekly newsletter
The editorial core of Malls.com is Malls Money, a weekly B2B newsletter read by commercial real estate professionals, retail expansion teams, and investment analysts. Each issue reports on store openings, new mall developments, anchor tenant shifts, and cross-border market entry signals.
Malls Money does not chase breaking news. It interprets structural shifts: which formats are scaling, which tenants are signing leases, where capital is flowing, and what that means for the people making decisions in retail real estate. Published every week on Beehiiv and as a LinkedIn Newsletter.
Mall & retail chain databases
Four structured databases built for retail expansion research, CRE due diligence, and market entry planning: Americas malls and outlets (1,200+ records), European shopping centers (1,100+ records), Asia-Pacific and Middle East malls (1,800+ records), and Top 1,000 global retail chains.
Each record includes gross leasable area, full tenant lists, anchor brands, management company, executive and leasing contacts where available, full address, coordinates, and classification fields. Every record is structured, normalized, and maintained for professional use in site selection, competitive analysis, and outreach.
Research, reports & press access
Malls.com holds accredited press credentials at ICSC, EuroShop, and MAPIC — the three primary global events where retail real estate decisions are made. Editorial coverage includes exhibitor analysis, expansion announcements, and market intelligence that does not appear in press releases.
The 2026 Brand Expansion Signals report documented 57 verified expansion moves across 25+ markets, tracking where brands are opening stores, entering new countries, and committing capital to physical retail. Custom intelligence reports are available for brands evaluating expansion corridors.
Built for three types of professionals
If retail expansion is your job — in any role — this is your intelligence layer.
Retail & DTC brand expansion
Opening 20–200 locations? You need to know who's moving in your target markets before the press release drops. We track competitor moves, new mall openings, and anchor tenant shifts across all major markets — so expansion teams move first, not second.
