 Advantages of the Palouse Mall
by Saleh Karhan and Salman Alharbi



Moscow is a small city in Idaho, so that means there are few entertainment places. The Palouse Mall is located at 1850 West Pullman Rd, Moscow. Also, the work hours are always on Monday-Saturday 10:00 AM-9:00 PM and Sunday 11:00-6:00 PM.

The biggest place that people in Moscow have visited is The Palouse Mall. This mall is very big and most people in Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Washington are shopping there because there is one mall between the two cities.

Stores in the mall are very different because each one if the stories offer a different product. For example, the Palouse Mall has many different stores that some of them are popular, such as Macy`s and Ross and some of them are unpopular. Macy`s is a huge store that offers nice clothes, perfumes, and jewelry. According to Sara, a shopper, "when you compare the prices in the Palouse Mall's stores and the other stores in the downtown, you will see a big difference" the prices in the mall are more expensive than prices in the downtown.

However, the Palouse Mall is considered the best place for shopping in the Palouse because it has many great stores in a small place and, the products are better than products downtown
