RETAILING

Retailing includes all activities involved in Selling and providing goods and services to ultimate consumers for personal, or household use

FOUR PART CLASSIFICATION• Strip retail• Planned Shopping Centers• Ancillary Retail• Big Box and power Centers

TRADITIONAL STRIP CENTERS

• Stores in strip centers are arranged in a row, with a sidewalk in front; they are typically developed as a unit and have large parking lots in front. They face major traffic arterials and tend to be self-contained with few pedestrian connections to surrounding neighborhoods

FUNCTION OF STRIP MALLS• Strip centers usually range in

size from 5,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet.

• The smaller variety is more common and often located at the intersection of major streets in residential areas;

• it caters to a small residential area

• Usually Just on Street

STRIP RETAIL Advantages

ANCILLARY RETAIL STORES• These are the smaller units

in "secondary" positions or funny shapes or just off the main walkways. Usually let to non main stream shopping i.e coffee shop or in dependant store etc. They do no rely on "passing/window shopping trade" but are locally known stores attracting regular clientele.

POWER CENTER OR BIG BOX• It is containing

three or more boxes Various smaller retail with a common parking area shared among all retailers

FUNCTIONS• Clustered• Highly Accessible• Usually near Highway

POWER CENTERAdvantages

• Giant Selection of everything under one roof

• Most things are cheaper, sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot

• These stores normally open earlier, close later and are open on holidays

• Can save money on gas by only going to one store instead of several

Disadvantages:

• Too many people, too crowded at all hours

• Difficult to get help when you need it

• Employees normally don’t give 2 cents if you are there

• Sometimes they force out smaller businesses, which in my eyes is not a good thing
