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.
