Not a mall but a Korean grocery.

Another ethnicity has joined the united nations of Packard/Platt, which includes Bombay Grocery (Indian), Euro Market (Russian), and multiple Middle Eastern shops. Though the name Galleria doesn't give off much of an ethnic whiff, it's a Korean grocery. While most of the existing markets in the area are small and worn, looking as though there might be a forgotten treasure or two lurking in a dusty corner, Galleria is as bright and shiny as the cellophane wrappings reflecting off its fluorescent lights. The building itself is brand new.
