Malls do not need a formal food court, they just need a costco with an external food court like this one.
Unlike other costco's that move in to defunked malls and have an external entrance, you must enter the mall to get inside this costco.
This costco is the one that is closest to my office, so I usually visit it when I need some food for a work party, have a flat and need a tire fixed or when I just get the craving for some samples.
This costco has some items that appeal to the local demographics. there is a wide range of Mexican cheeses available. Also the liquor selection is skewed more to the affordable end of the spectrum.
This is a very unique costco in Arizona for the fact it is in a mall but the actual store is less than my favorite.
