In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centers or malls to do their shopping. Is this a positive or a negative development?

In

this

era of ,development small local shops are going out business comparatively to malls which are based on large scale business. I agree with the fact that it is a positive development for our society as well as for the environment.

Firstly

, from small things to large things, the cost of raw materials is increasing every year due to which local shops prices are at their peak. But malls and huge departmental stores offer numerous discounts on each item every day which attracts more people to choose them over local tiny stores.

For instance

, my uncle went shopping for the

first

time at a shopping complex as he was not happy with the regional

stock

service for the price we were paying them for.

Moreover

, when he came back from the complex he was so impressed by the grocery items available there

also

at a very low price.

Therefore

, he decided to not prefer that

stock

instead

of a nearby little department

stock

.

Secondly

, whenever a new mall is inaugurated

then

numerous jobs are available

accordingly

.

Hence

, every unemployed person in that area can apply.

Furthermore

, considering a huge staff make it easier to maintain and clean these accumulated stores. To illustrate,

last

week the

first

modern

stock

was opened in our area, I and my brother decided to visit it to buy some vegetables. We were so shocked by the cleanliness of the whole market

also

they were sanitizing it every two hours to prevent coronavirus.

This

had a huge impact on us and everyone

as a result

people in our neighbourhood

also

started to prefer it for shopping. To sum it up, I completely believe that people preferring large shopping centres for shopping

instead

of the local small market will be a huge positive impact on the development of the environment

also

including mankind.
