City to get Asian-theme mall as House of Sher site sold
GLASGOW is to get its first Asian-themed shopping mall - and it will be launched in the building previously used by the House of Sher cash-and-carry.

Is 'Mall' an actual english word or one of these things we get imported in from America?

Originally French for a ball and ring game Pall Mall which then became the name of the alley in London where they played it. A covered walk way. That's how language develops. There's more Americans who speak English than the population of the United Kingdom. Their language not just ours. Glasgow has always appreciated American comedians, films, music and TV.
Mall is shorter than retail park or shopping centre.
