How has the suburban environment changed shopping?

A. Specialty shops that offer high-quality goods have been created to address one specific need.

B. To consolidate space, shops often are located on the bottom floor of large buildings, with the

upper floors used as office or residential space.

C. Strip malls, big-box retail stores, malls, and drive-throughs have been developed to

accommodate shoppers driving automobiles.

D. Outdoor shopping spaces located in pedestrian zones have been developed to cater to shoppers

walking or biking.

Shopping has now evolved into complete new thing. Earlier there were markets which were not constructed permanently and there were small carts which used to gather at one place and people shop from there. Suburban shopping experience is completely different from the rural ones. There are malls, big retail stores which enable drive through facility for the visitors so they don't have to experience hectic shopping. The shopping is now eased by online system and the grocery and other basic need shopping can be done by sitting at home.

Answer:

The correct answer is C )

Strip malls, big-box retail stores, malls, and drive-throughs have been developed to accommodate shoppers driving automobiles.

Explanation:

Shops as it used to be have evolved. Suburban malls are evolving into regional mega malls which are situated by the road side or very busy locations.

Many of them have been modified to accommodate the increasingly busy nature of shoppers who just want to stop by, make a purchase and drive away with the least amount of time spent.

The demerit of this development is that older malls that have served communities for a long time are left to suffer as people gravitate to these new suburban centers.

To survive, older shopping malls must adapt or re-strategize by remodeling their facilities, if possible to meet the current trends.
