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

Nowadays, individuals prefer to buy from

rather than to buy things from small stores, and there are several reasons behind

this

development. In the past years, a lot of outlets have closed due to the reason for the

trend. In my view,

First

and foremost, a

provides the facility to purchase anything under one roof, whether it is a household item or a car.

people

prefer to buy their belongings from a

rather than to purchase from a local shop;

however

, there are some certain urgent requirements which cannot be fulfilled by them,

such

as milk.

Moreover

, a

and enjoy varieties of meals and play games.

Furthermore

, a facility to provide freedom of selection while shopping.

For instance

, an individual can choose and try any outfit as much as they can, that can be possible only in a

mall

.

Thus

, these facilities make the

mall

culture trending.

On the other hand

, there are some negative aspects of

this

trend that influence local shopkeepers.

Firstly

, in a city, street shops are the only option for many retailers for their bread and butter. A lot of shopkeepers depend on the income which comes from their retailing business, and these mega

affect their business and

this

source of income.

For example

, a small vendor of clothes faces loss because of the

mall

outlets where

people

can choose a variety of clothes along with a price range.

Besides

this

, if the recommended price is high, an individual can bargain for the product, and

this

can be possible at a street store.

Hence

, these challenges can be faced by local shopkeepers due to

this

mall

trend. In the final analysis, despite the fact that large shopping centres affect local market retailers, but it helps

people

to purchase in a single building and

also

provides freedom of selection with other fun-loving activities. For

this

reason, I am convinced that

mall

culture is a positive development in general.
