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

Presently, people want to do purchase branded goods, because they are well aware rather than past years, and they know about modern style of living, that’s why, most of the people go in big shopping malls. In these malls have all things of life, and people can purchase all items easily. I think that it would be negatively effect on local business.
Small local shops, majority depends upon domestic products, and it means that those which are produced by own country. If the people would not go on little shops for buying things, it would be badly affected on country’s economy. For instance, if we use cotton of Pakistan, this is the abundant product of country and it would be beneficial for burgeoning economy.
Nowadays, our media become so advanced, and they inform about latest things such as electric products, cloth design, style of residence etc. it is also fact that huge shopping centers consists of every item of life, and people want to buy all things at one place. Because everyone has limited time, they do not want to spend a lot of time to do shopping, therefore, they prefer one place to go and purchase branded things. For example, two months ago, I visited the emporium mall, and I was surprised to see that everything of need and luxury was kept in that place, from flour to till car. Although, it has a lot of advantages but it would be negatively affect our local shops.
In conclusion, people have beneficial to go big shopping center for purchasing their products but most of the small shops would be closed due to the shortage of customers.
