On his way home from work, Phil stopped at a shopping center. He parked in front of the dry cleaner, where he could pick up his suit. He did not have to move his car because next door was a gift shop where he could pick up a gift for his niece. Conveniently enough, next door to that store was a supermarket, where he purchased essentials like milk and cornflake cereal. Phil was shopping in which type of shopping center?

Convenience, neighborhood, and community shopping centers (also called strip shopping centers) are attached rows of open-air stores, with onsite parking usually located in front of the stores. Smaller centers (convenience and neighborhood centers) are 10,000 to 60,000 square feet and are typically anchored by a supermarket. They are designed for convenience shopping. These centers typically have 10 to 15 smaller retailers such as a bakery, dollar store, dry cleaner, florist, laundry center, barber shop, and mail service.
