What is the name of the mall in season 3 of "Stranger Things"?

The story behind the answer

The mall in season 3 of "Stranger Things" is called Starcourt Mall.

Starcourt is a newly opened shopping center in Hawkins, Indiana, and quickly becomes the town’s fashionable gathering place. Its bright stores, food court, cinema, and ice-cream shop give the third season a distinctly 1980s setting while also representing the arrival of new commercial development in the small town.

Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley work at Scoops Ahoy, the mall’s nautical-themed ice-cream parlor. Their jobs eventually place them close to a hidden Soviet facility beneath the mall. Dustin Henderson helps uncover the secret operation after intercepting a Russian transmission, and the group investigates through the season.

Starcourt is more than a backdrop: the Mind Flayer’s plot and the Soviet experiments converge there during the Fourth of July events. The season’s climactic battle causes severe damage to the mall. The fictional location was filmed primarily at Georgia’s Gwinnett Place Mall, which the production redesigned with period-appropriate storefronts and decorations.
