retail strip

Storefront-lined roadway segment

A retail strip is a row of stores sharing a common building and parking area, typically along a roadway.

Unlike enclosed malls, retail strips have storefronts that open directly to the outside: The retail strip had a dry cleaner, a nail salon, and a pizza place.

Also called a strip mall or shopping plaza.
