  1. Large Retail Parks

    Advantages (to the customer)-

    Multiple shops in one place - much more convenient.

    Better parking facilities (normally)

    Ability to shop around for prices more easily

    More competition

    Potential for lower prices given the number of customers - economies of scale

    Usually bigger stores with wider range of products

    Larger stores have better facilities (eg better changing rooms)

    Disadvantages (to the customer)-

    Prices can be inflated as people are prepared to pay for convenience.

    Price fixing - easy for similar companies to check each others prices and both keep high prices.

    Usually busy - some people don't like fighting for their personal space.

    Niche shops are usually not available in large retail parks.

    Doesn't benefit local trade (some high street shops will) - tends to be big corporate wholesalers.
