While less well-known than the Mall Of America across the river in Minneapolis, the Promenade is a local bastion of commerce in its own right. Three stories tall, it's home to clothing shops, department stores, electronics boutiques, collectibles vendors, and all the typical mall offerings. It sports a sprawling food court, which opens on one side onto an alley popular as a place for the underage to smoke without being hassled by authority figures. While it lacks the Mall Of America's indoor roller coaster, it does feature an ice-skating rink, and has recently opened a VR center. Many students spend free time (and money) at the Promenade, and many of those who work hold jobs there, as the stores are always on the lookout for anyone willing to accept just above minimum wage.
