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, all over the world, the topic of the development of shopping is omnipresent.

While

some people think the advantages of large shopping

centres

exist, other people think there are disadvantages of closing small local

shops

. From my point of view, I think both perspectives are valid for the reasons discussed below. On the one hand, as far as travel to large shopping

centres

or malls is concerned,

firstly

, to a large extent, especially in modern times, no matter where in the world you live

,

Remove the comma

when you do shopping in large

centres

, you can easily find whatever you want

due to

the

fact

that a lot of

shops

are present, resulting in having the choice of products.

For example

, in malls, you could have many clothes

shops

, and you can easily swap between

shops

to find the better items.

In addition

, and most importantly in recent years, you might win time on account of the

fact

that every shop is in the same area.

On the other hand

, there are disadvantages of closing small local

shops

. First and foremost, by and large, you could contribute to small cities delocalization owing to the

fact

that you encouraging big companies, resulting in the closing of small

shops

in small areas.

Secondly

, at least to some degree, when you prefer big

centres

as small

shops

, you cannot support your neighbourhood and your local community.

For example

, the local butcher who sponsors your football team, cannot continue to support them

due to

the

fact

that he cannot earn more money,

due to

the reasons that you didn’t continue buying in his shop. In conclusion,

while

some people think the advantages of malls for shopping, others say there are disadvantages of closing the small local

shops

.

However

, in my opinion, both perspectives have value for the above-mentioned reasons
