Big and huge Shopping Malls with wide range of facilities had became boom for public but had became curse for small shopkeepers. Public is interested to go under one roof rather than going here and there for shopping.

Sometimes I like to go to a Shopping Mall to browse. Many times I feel like the prices at Malls are higher than some of the other stores that are not a part of it. So, I usually buy at stores not at Malls.

How can price be higher . Every brand has a price tag which cannot be edited.

@bsameep Where I live, we have discount store chains that are separate from Malls. Have you heard of Wal-Mart? It is a big discount store chain that really does have better prices than many stores connected to a Mall.

What sad is shopping malls will be a thing of the past, due to online orders. I personally like the shopping malls better, but shopping malls let's say 15 years ago would give deep discounts to large retail stores to come into the mall (macy's, jcpenny, sears, etc.) and now because the big chain stores do not draw as much business a shopping mall wants, they no longer get discounts.

@bsameep I agree, but if you look at the stats for online orders, it is scary for the min and pop stores.

Actually both things are correct. So many retailers have to close their business due to this but there is some good through this big Malls to the public also. so its an argument-able topic.

Main comfort to public is shopping things under one roof.

I must say that I am an old fashioned girl, I much prefer the shopping stores on the main street from way before. I do not like mall shopping at all.

As a coin has two sides to it.Every issue has 2 sides to it. Positive n negetive..shopping malls provide employment to so many people in various departments, thats a plus.. And the rates are comparitively higher, thats a minus.. And there are many other points both plus and minuses. .. its a never ending discussion..
