A quick search found this page, which cites a link to data from an anonymous Belgian retailer. You may also want to check the business section of the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
Finding data on shoppers' purchases within the stores of a single mall may be more difficult, for a number of reasons:
If you need longitudinal data describing the same individuals' purchases over time, you may want to search through published studies on consumer behavior. (Presumably some business researcher has approached this question before, and may even have recruited study participants to record their buying behavior over the length of a study.)
