Lolz

Actually I don't agree if it concerns food and beverage. How many malaysians pack food and drinks when they go out. People will generally eat and drink at anywhere which is near to them.
Also, some people will paiseh don't buy anything like those at mamak/mcd/kfc. Buy 1 drink and sit there for 5 hours to use the internet.
Also don't forget youth like to look cool (eventhough they don't have the money for it yet). So if a place looks cool to hangout (environment is good for chitchat) they will buy a drink or 2 and chill out with friends.

But most important thing is after the hype died down, what are you going to do? How to attract and maintain customers? Like the mcd minion hype. Now habuk pun tak ada. That's why need something sustainable like cheap and good food plus with alwaya keep up to date on the latest hype.

No one realized that the player don't really need to enter the premise to access the Gym or PokeStop?

There's a radius to it, to prevent people from simply trespassing private properties. Unless due to some agreement, it's heavily shrunk to fit the business premise only. Or else just standing in front the shop or enter the neighbor's shop is sufficient already.

What I foresee is Pokemon Go selling spawn events to malls. E.g. 1U, Mid Valley, Pyramid etc pays Pokemon Go for a rare pokemon to spawn in their mall for a weekend or so. That & combined with some marketing would definitely drive people into the mall. Another possibility is to sell battle events (a feature not introduced yet), e.g. spawn an evil Charizard for an hour in specific place for people to battle in masses.

I think mid Valley no nid lo, ad so dam pack and no parking.

Maybe those new mall which want die cannot die will need it la..
