In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customer travels to large shopping centre and mall to do shopping. Is it a positive or negative development?

There is no doubt that an increasing number of people tend to do shopping from malls rather than local shops and

this

has resulted in the closing of many traditional shops. In my opinion,

this

trend has both positive and negative impacts on people and society. Visiting shopping malls tend to save

is the predominant factor to consider visiting a mall is a positive development to some extent. To elucidate, consumers can get all required things under the one roof,

On the other hand

, being bankrupt is the inevitable cause why I believe opening new malls is a negative trend to a certain extent. To elucidate, for many shopkeepers, their shops is the only source of income. Irrefutably, myriads of people have switched to the mall over visiting local shops due to having many discount offers.

Therefore

, end-users are less inclined to visit local shops, and

this

has adversely impacted on their earning.

Hence

, not only they are not able to support their family, but

also

cannot provide education for their children due to lack of funds, which has resulted in them becoming bankrupt.

For example

, in the recent article by the Times of India revealed that there are many bankruptcy cases found on local shop vendors due to the opening of many malls in the market and
