The
graph
illustrates the changes in the number

that closed and newly opened from 2011 to 2018. Overall
, fewer shops
were closed between 2016 and 2018 than between 2011 and 2014 while

of new shops
.
According to
the graph
, the number
of closed shops
was relatively higher regardless of some fluctuations seen from 2011 to 2014. Starting at 6200 in 2000, it reached a peak of 7000 in 2013. However
, it experienced a dynamic drop to hit the bottom at 200 in 2015. Then

of shops
newly opened for the 7 years. Although

of shops
were closed and opened in 2014. After that, the graph
