Shopping centers are all the same type of consumer business model, which generally includes comprehensive functions such as daily necessities, catering and entertainment. At first, everyone called this kind of building a shopping mall or a shopping arcade or a square (the word square itself already contains the meaning of shopping mall), but later you may think that this name is used too much to express an increasing scale. Therefore, the names of shopping center, shopping plaza and shopping plaza have been developed, which have little difference in essential meaning and can be said to be used casually in the market. If you care, you will distinguish it from the architectural form. For example, only one or two floors are called squares or squares, and many floors are called Mall. In addition, they are composed of many operators, which are different from the single operator that supermarkets usually know. (Of course, some supermarkets now adopt the business model of department stores, subletting some places to independent operators to increase their income sources. As for supermarkets, it was first translated directly from English supermarkets. It was called a supermarket when it was introduced to Hong Kong in the 1970s, and it was simply called a supermarket when it was introduced to the mainland in the 1980s. Supermarket is a daily consumption and retail business model developed in the United States in the last century, replacing the traditional vegetable market and grocery store. Later, due to market competition, the scale of supermarkets became larger and larger, and the variety of operations became wider and wider. From the initial food, daily necessities, to even cooked food, clothing, electrical appliances, furniture and other categories, some people have developed names such as hypermarkets and supermarkets.
