Springfield Mall is the local mall in Springfield and the ultimate source for items and needs.
Description
Springfield Mall has hundreds of stores, restaurants, bars, clinics and other services. Its CEO is Mr. Costington. Two of its more well-known stores are The Leftorium and Lionel Hutz's law office. At one time, the mall was in a dilapidated state due to the mayor's father being murdered there.[1]
In recent episodes, the mall is in a dilapidated state, with such poor maintanence that the "Springfield Mall" sign in front is falling apart[2]. The mall's interior is now a shelter for homeless people and it has lots of out of business stores, but the mall is still open and has some remaining stores[3].

It is shown that the DMV store Patty and Selma work at, a candy store and a camping store are in the mall as well as many others.
