Strip Malls is an open-air shopping mall where the stores are arranged in a row, with a sidewalk in front.
Strip malls are typically developed as a unit and have large parking lots in front. The category of retailers
widely varies. It may contain a grocery store, hair salon, dry cleaner, laundromat, small restaurant, and
similar stores such as a general store, toy store, pet store, jewelry store, mattress store, corner store,
thrift shop, or pawn shop. Pharmacies were often located next to the grocery stores, but are now often
free-standing or contained within the anchor tenant or grocery store. Gas stations, banks, and other
businesses also may have their own free-standing buildings in the parking lot of the strip center.
