Department stores are doing great in Mexico.

For example, the high rise Mitikah in CDMX was recently completed, and it has a mall complete with metro access, cinema and a giant department store chain called Liverpool. Pictures from the opening[0].

Another new mall, Portal Norte is under construction in Naucalpan, a suburb.[1] Not sure whether it will feature a Liverpool but I would almost be surprised if it wouldn't.

I went to Puebla last month and it has a whole neighborhood of malls called Angelopolis, including bike paths to connect them.[2] The last mall opened in 2018.[3]

I love malls because they are car free, pretty plants and have armed guards. It feels safer than being in the street.

Well, Mexico is doing everything US does but with a 30 to 50 years delay so that is not really suprising.
Mexico is doing everything the US did of what? This isn't an explanation, but just a random idea.
