Note: Both the topic and the essay were created by one of our users.

Whether choosing huge stores or local shops is merit or demerit has become a matter of controversy. Some individuals advocate the former while others take side with the latter. The following essay is going to shed light on the benefits and drawbacks of the given issue.

There are reasons for people to believe that large shopping malls are important to be established as multi stories shopping malls come with a large number of stores and other facilities under one roof. First and foremost time saving from shopping from such multi-complex buildings could be a significant factor. It may be defined as the majority of them prefer to go to the shopping malls rather than the single stores because a variety of options are available in one complex. For example, clothes, groceries, banks, pharmacies, cinemas, food courts, and restaurants etc. are all available under a single roof and people get better environment from such an establishment.

There are some groups who are in favour of single shops and believe that this trend should be continued. They have their reasons as well. In spite of views discussed above regarding why large shopping malls are ideal to the modern society. Parking problems could be a substantial reason behind the opponent’s viewpoint. There including excursive crowding in the shopping complex, especially on weekends and holidays. As a result, shoppers have to spend a long time in the parking bays rather than shopping in small shops. The prices in large shopping malls are often unreasonable and people end up purchasing more than they actually need. The large shopping malls are not often convenient for the lower and middle-class population.

In conlusion, whether shopping in a large complex stores or single small shops could be a matter of discussion; however, as far as I am concerned, big shopping malls have immense benefits to the modern society that outweigh the options and conveniences offered by the small shops.
