I believe that there are numerous differences in case of shopping in small shops as compared to large shopping center in city. I feel so because in local markets you can only buy few number of products. You cannot get varieties over there whereas if one will go to shop in big malls then there are lots of varieties. Another reason may be in local shops we can get the local products which are produced in our own country which will increase the economy of the country whereas in shopping malls not only from the local country but also from foreign also we can experience varieties of products. So yes both the local shop as well as big shopping center mall has their own advantages and disadvantages. For me I generally prefer to shopping in small and local shops.
