Wanna Rock Your Mall?

Your mall can be very rewarding if used properly. Most of us have used it for storing junk businesses that are an eye-sore in our cities. I have started using it to my advantage. Personally I do not want rows and rows of the same businesses in my city just to rock coins. It looks like crap and isn’t how a real city is or should be...

I have been experimenting with it and here is what I have come up with. Instead of putting worthless items in the mall I started using high dollar payout businesses. The skate shop is what I used in my experiment. The skate shop pays out $928 with 175 goods needed. $928 x 20 (Level 5 mall) equals $18,560. Add the 25% payout for level 5 and you have $23,200. Not bad right?

Here is the bonus payouts per floor completed:
Level one: 5%
Level two: 10%
Level three: 15%
Level four:  20%
Level five: 25%

Of course these numbers are totals as you get to higher floors. You can also mix and match depending on how much goods you have in storage on a regular basis. Right now you can use limited time items for even bigger payouts. At the time of this writing there were two very nice ones. The Hades grill pays out $999 with 165 goods and the Greek Carpenter shop pays out a whopping $1670 with 310 goods. Currently I am building five of the carpenter shops to go in my mall. Think about that. If you did all carpenter shops you would get a total of $41,750 which includes the level 5 bonus payout of 25%. Not bad...

When they came out with the second mall I was like, “really” do I even have room for it? Not thrilled about it but I plan to keep it a level one mall since it does like kind of cool. Basically like a mini mall or strip mall. This is what we have here in the states all over the place…

Lastly, here is a tip from one of my neighbors, Rob Hood (How cool is that name). I haven’t tried this yet but might be worth the time. In a group post he talks about putting as many businesses around the hotels as possible since it will fill your hotels for fast collection. He has around 14 businesses around them. So what if we put a mall filled with high end businesses around one of the hotels. In my opinion you could collect mad coins by doing so. Something new to try…
