In recent years many local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centers to do their shopping. Is it a positive or negative development?

There is no denying that the number of

customers

who are going to go to large shopping

centres

for their shopping has been increasing over and over these days.

Due to

the development of customer benefits in large shopping

centres

, many people would prefer to shop in big shopping

centres

.

However

, some people say

this

issue has negative effects on our association. Visiting large

centres

for shopping seems positive for people because of the convenience.

For example

, it is possible to buy anything you planned at once in large shopping

centres

. They provide plenty of options to

customers

such

as fashion clothes, shoes, accessories sections and even food courts which is called ‘All in One under one roof’.

Whereas

, the issue has negative effects on our society as well. There are problems with the trend.

Firstly

, the closed local stores have been increasing gradually because of reduced visitors.

According to

eminent economists, the more

customers

feel attracted to shopping under one roof the less

customers

visit local stores unless they do provide special experiences to

customers

.

Secondly

, the financial penalty for local store owners. In a way, the financial penalty is a natural consequence of a decrease in visiting local stores.

Therefore

, the local economic power and local interactions are getting weaker.

According to

some statistics, there is a correlation between population congestion in a specific place and economic unbalance. In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, I personally believe that large shopping

centres

have positive effects

although

there are negative things. Because any change has costs and the created market might be producing new jobs.
