Not sure if there's not a word for it, or if the advertisers just decided to use the english word to promote their "American Style" mall.

Yeah, so often there ARE vocab terms for an action or a thing in that particular language, but they borrow the word elsewhere to connote the culture or style associated WITH that borrowed word in using it.
