The trend of the current period is building huge
malls
 in towns and cities, in order to attract more customers and add entertainment to the lives of people living in that area. I strongly believe that
this
 matter has a damaging effect on micro, medium and small family businesses located in suburbs. The
first

Thus
 every seller can learn the price of other products easily. Another disadvantage is unemployment. Many families structured their business models in selling handmade goods and foods in their little

 plenty of store owners are forced to close their own businesses due to economic circumstances like a decrease in the number of customers. In conclusion, despite the benefit of shopping
