anchor stores
Shopping center draws
Anchor stores are the large, well-known retailers—typically department stores or big-box chains—that draw customers to a shopping mall or retail center.
Smaller shops benefit from the foot traffic these major tenants generate.
Mall developers often offer anchor stores favorable lease terms to secure their presence: Macy's and JCPenney served as anchor stores at opposite ends of the mall.
