Café at Mall

There is a large shopping mall in our city.
We can buy anything at a grocery store, clothes shops, a book store, appliance stores, and so on.
I used to go to a café in the mall to read books with their drink.
The café, however, seemed to go out of business when I went to the mall last night.
The location of the café was better than the others because it was near one of the entrances and many customers passed by the café.
Although it was a weekday, there were less customers in the mall than I expected.
I wondered how the people in our city spent Friday nights.
Also I felt that it is difficult to keep their business among a lot of competitors.
