A larger commercial zone can be found in many cities, more formally called a central business district, but more commonly called “downtown” in the United States, or in Arab cities, souks. Shopping hubs, or shopping centers, are collections of stores (a grouping of several businesses). According to a 2000 report, in the U.S. state of New York, women purchase 80% of all consumer goods and influence 80% of health-care decisions. Typical examples include shopping malls, town squares, flea markets and bazaars.
