Yes, but it would not exist in the form of one large building with dozens of competing clothing stores. Shopping Malls are structured in the manner that they are to entice consumerism and generate profit from having many slightly different stores competing for your attention.
Without the profit motive, this would likely be phased out. Certain Markets would exist, as would stores, but not in the specific organization of a shopping Mall. It may exist in Socialism, but likely not lower-stage Communism, and certainly not upper-stage Communism.
