Supermarkets proliferated along with suburban areas after World War II. Supermarkets
in the USA are now often co-located with department stores in strip malls and are generally
regional rather than national. Kroger is probably the closest thing in the U.S. to a national
chain but has preserved most of its regional brands like Ralphs.
It was formerly common for supermarkets to give trading stamps.
In Britain, Denmark and other European countries the proliferation of out-of-town
supermarkets has been blamed for the disappearance of smaller, local grocery stores and for
increased dependency on the motor car.
Text 2. Shopping mall
A shopping mall is a building or s et of buildings that contain stores/shops and have
interconnecting walkways that make it easy for people to walk from store to store. The
walkways may or may not be enclosed. In the United Kingdom and Australia these are
called shopping centres or shopping arc ades .
A strip mall is a type of 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. They face major traffic arterials and tend to be self-contained with few pedestrian
connections to surrounding neighborhoods. In the United Kingdom these are called "retail
parks" or "out of town shopping centres", even though they might not be out of town.
The first enclosed shopping mall ever built was the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele in
Milan, Italy. Many other large cities created similar malls in the late 19th century and early
20th century along similar lines.
In the late 20th century, with the rise of the suburb and automobile culture in the United
States, a new form of mall was created away from city centers. The design is modeled after
small town main streets in the USA, but placed entirely indoors. This new generation of
mall was pioneered by Northgate, located in north Seattle, in 1950, and Southdale, located
in the Twin Cities suburb of Edina, Minnesota, in 1956.
A very large shopping mall is sometimes called a meg amal l. The largest enclosed
shopping mall is the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The world's
largest shopping complex at one discrete location is the two-mall agglomeration of the Plaza
at King of Prussia and the Court at King of Prussia in the Philadelphia suburb of King of
