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 negative development?

In recent years big shopping malls have received much popularity so that most people prefer doing their shopping in

such

places and caused closing small stands, which is a negative trend in the forthcoming paragraphs, I shall explain more.

facilities like huge shopping centres, from my standpoint other stores should receive equal significance and the government should be required to pass some laws to support local chains in

this

regard.
