retail center

Place with stores

A retail center is a commercial property containing multiple stores, typically sharing parking and common areas.

The term covers everything from strip malls to large shopping complexes.

Unlike a single storefront, a retail center is planned and managed as a unit: The new retail center will include a grocery store and several restaurants.
