SHOPPING CENTRES
Many families in big cities have flats in residential districts of the city. Sometimes these districts are located rather far from the centre but due to the branched system of public transport it is not a problem to get to major shopping centres. There are large nets of shops and stores in cities. The types of stores may vary but most districts have a food supermarket, a departments store, barber’s and hairdresser’s shops, a laundry, a cleaning establishment, and different repair shops.
A department store, true to its name, is composed pf many departments. Indeed, it is in itself a miniature shopping centre selling everything: men’s and women’s clothes, shoes, hats, electric appliances, houseware, sporting goods, books, jewelry, stationary, cameras, records, cosmetics, toys, linens, curtains, chinaware, etc.
