Depends on the mall design.
Some have large cargo elevators in the back areas to transfer products. Some have multi-level parcades with access doors. Some have service doors on the side of the build so a crane can hoist products up.

For all the parts of a mall you see like the vast atriums and the fancy storefronts and the sprawling food courts there’s also parts you don’t see, of interconnected corridors and storage spaces connecting the backsides of the stores to allow for storage and transportation of merchandise without having to get everything through the areas the customers go through during off hours. There’s also large freight elevators used to carry large amounts of merchandise around. Often these elevators can fit and lift cars and are used when bringing up vehicles on higher floors. Alternatively if there’s a balcony on the higher floors the car may be lifted up there by a crane and driven inside at night but usually they just have elevators for this kind of stuff since malls are built with these things in mind.

Either a big cargo elevator that holds lots of weight or ya they have some sort of second story door and ramp they can drive in.

Construction crews need to move stacks of drywall and other equipment that are easily just as heavy as a car whenever one of the retailers is redecorating. They’re not going to carry dozens of sheets and steel beams up the escalator.
There’s always a way for heavy things to get up to the second floor. Usually there’s some convenient geography that has at least parking lot at “ground level” for the upstairs. Put a big door there and stuff can just drive in and out.
Failing that, there’s usually a service elevator tucked away somewhere. This elevator is very not pretty, but is probably the size of a car, and is (usually) rated for a extra heavy capacity. Drive on, elevator up, drive off.
Failing ALL that, then someone got a crane and lifted it in there through some kind of roof access. that’s really expensive, but I’ve seen marketing folks spend money on stupider shit.
