Note
Nothing irregular here, just -s added, but the plural reaches well beyond shopping. Besides enclosed shopping centers and the pedestrian shopping streets of American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand usage, malls can be shaded public promenades or the heavy wooden mallets swung in pall mall. An obsolete use applied the word to the alleys where that game was played. Context sorts them quickly: nobody strolls down a mallet.
