Experiences with malls...

What it is like camping out at a mall?

Will they let people in? How is it determined which entrance people wait at?

I have waited out-front of individual stores... but never needed to wait for one located inside a closed mall.

Thanks in advance.

Call the mall office they all have different rules, they might let u wait outside until the mall opens form the employees once is open they make a line from the door to the store thats what they do here in Broward Mall in Ft Lauderdale

Best bet is to call the individual mall in question and ask their management office. Most enclosed malls won't let campers camp inside the mall after or before the stores open due to security reasons among others. Some may let you form a little line outside the mall, some may not at all. Even in outdoor malls, most won't allow camping.

I know they open the mall a few hours early for the "mallwalkers" a group of very elderly people who stroll the malls
