The largest retail destination in Ohio, often referred to as a "mall" due to its scale and comprehensive offerings, is Easton Town Center, located in Columbus.
Easton Town Center is a unique, open-air "lifestyle center" that blends traditional mall anchor stores with a main street feel, featuring numerous shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, and even office spaces. While not a single enclosed structure like many traditional malls, its expansive size and vast selection of retailers make it the largest by gross leasable area (GLA) in the state.
