Hakuna Anayebisha kwamba mall and shopping center are not the same thing. The word mall is often used in North America but in Britain it's called a shopping center. There's also something called hardware that you are trying so hard to say mean the same thing as a mall!

First and foremost, there's nothing like "funrnitures" in English. Secondly, such establishments are not called/are not supposed to be called malls. They are just furniture stores and nothing else. We have many such stores even here in Kenya but we don't call them malls. Furniture Palace along Mombasa road is a good example

I really doubt if you read the link but if you did, then your comprehension level is wanting. IKEA just bought that mall and will be using just a section of it for its own business (they'll definitely rent out the rest of the space but that's not written). It's clearly written that they intend to open a smaller IKEA store within the mall (the mall is 27,000 square meters).

In short, they are not converting the entire mall for their own use. They are just opening a store within a mall which they now own after buying it. Does that make that mall a furniture mall? The answer is No!
