The Theory
Shopping Hierarchy
Firstly I will talk about the shopping hierarchy. The shopping hierarchy system works by highest being at the top that means that is has increasingly higher- order goods with comparison and specialist shops and this in one city centre. At the top of the hierarchy are more likely and more willing to travel longer distances as they people target and focus on particular item. The reason people do that is because the shop are specialised and for that reason people attend to The Central Business District’s (CBD) less consistently.
On the other hand at the lower end of the hierarchy the complete opposite happens. It sells low-order, convenience good and is in many small corner shops in the suburbs. People tend not prepared to dedicate time especially for these product since they are needed for regular use. Too much effort will be taken time to get the same goods which even maybe used daily, for example bread and milk. This is reason why there are so many small corner shops is because people can easily access them just walking short distances with hardly any effort.
