this always reminds me of the 'you could stop at 5 or 6 stores...'

Well google says that it's from a well know promenade in London in the 1600s called The Mall because it used to be a place to play a game called pall-mall, with "pall" being derived from a word for "ball" and "mall" from "mallet".
So it basically just means hammer.
