In Recent Years Many Local Shops Have Closed Because Customers Travel To Large Shopping Malls

Of late, more and more customers are moving to large shopping

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centres

Centers

and malls rather than the small local shops, and

this

has forced these shops to close. In my

opinion

Accept comma addition

opinion, this

this

is a negative development which can make people lose their jobs and

also

it may affect the tourism. One serious problem that can arise from the

closure

of the small shops is that the competition between the small shops and the large shopping

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centres

centre

will disappear.

As a result

the large malls will stop providing discounts on the goods as they do not face competition;

therefore

, they will not reduce the prices.

For example

, malls offer discounts throughout the year to keep their customers away from the small shops.

Thus

, the

closure

of small shops will affect the customers. Another issue is that many people will lose their jobs and become unemployed.

In other words

, when the small shops close, people employed by them will lose their source of income, and that will put them in a difficult situation.

For example

, many families run small shops to earn their living. When they go out of business, their families will struggle to survive.

Finally

, the

closure

of small shops in some places will affect the tourism industry. Many tourists prefer the small shops in the streets

instead

of the big malls, and the reason behind

this

is that walking in an old beautiful street watching people doing performances and other people shopping is more joyous than being inside a large building of concrete. In conclusion,

although

it has become easier for people to do shopping in one large

center

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centre

, the

closure

of small malls has brought too many problems for

this

to be considered a positive development.
