It is also considered to be a hangout location for youngsters during evening owing to the variety of street food vendors who hold business in the mall.

History

Alsa Mall was a private property before it was converted into a mall.[2] Along with the Spencer Plaza, it remained one of the premier shopping malls in the city until the 2000s, when numerous malls began to appear across the city.[2][3] In 2013, the mall became the first mall to host the state-owned Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation's (Tasmac) first premium alcoholic beverages outlet.[1]
