This is: a cinema.
It is near the mall food court, which makes smuggling a big problem. In the beginning it wasn't a big deal, but eventually everyone was smuggling tacos left a right, an underground snack ring had started, and rowdyness was the film de jour. At first there were pat down searches, but eventually the managment sprung for a dedicated snack scanner. All the hubub was because they were the state concession proving ground. They tested such snacks as the taco, pioneered the reintroduction of the popcorn box, and did some very interesting things with tubes of meat in the late seventies.
