18 Jul Mall In China Introduces ‘Husband Storage Pods’

While the idea of a shopping mall has been around for some time, it was really in the latter half of the 20th century that the trend began to escalate. This is particularly true in the United States, where shopping centres became ubiquitous by the 1980s, increasing in size and number towards the end of the century.

The size of malls across the world followed this trend, with the current largest mall in the world being located in China. The New South China Mall in Dongguan has an astounding gross floor area of 9,600,000 square feet. More than half the world’s retail development is located entirely in China, and Shanghai alone has 3.3 million square metres currently under construction.

With such an abundance of shopping centres in the area, the city is undoubtedly going to be at the forefront of mall-related facilities. Malls are so ingrained in the modern lifestyle of the city’s denizens that there are even technologies being developed simply for the comfort of its shoppers. Made to suit the needs of tired men reluctantly joining on their wives’ shopping trips, these “husband storage” pods are truly bizarre.
