Compare and Contrast Two Shopping Centres
Nguyen Le Thi Phuc
24/3/2013
A shopping plan
Last week, I thought of a plan to go to the shopping centre with my friend who is going to visit Singapore. Both my friend and I like shopping, I wanted to take her to go shopping. But I could not make up my mind that where we would go. I had ever come to Thomson Plaza and Lucky Plaza that all of them were very nice. Then I compared the location, structure and goods of two centres that I could finally come to my decision to go Lucky Plaza.
First, I considered about their location. Thomson Plaza is a shopping centre located in urban areas, in the heart of private and public residential estates at Upper Thomson Road. However, Lucky Plaza is situated in the midst of Singapore’s premier shopping district and located along the Orchard road. So both Thomson Plaza and Lucky Plaza are easy to move by any transportation. Lucky Plaza is closer the MRT Station but farer my home than Thomson Plaza. Besides, Lucky Plaza had been identified as one of the most accessible landmarks for the tourists.
Second, I thought of their structures. While Thomson Plaza’s logo is an orange – gray leaf, Lucky Plaza’s logo looks like double “S” with yellow color. The appearance of Thomson Plaza looks nice and specially, and Lucky Plaza does too. Thomson Plaza has 3 floors and a basement carpark. In contrast, Lucky Plaza has 6 floors, 1 basement and a large parking lot. So there are many shops in Lucky Plaza more than Thomson Plaza.
From their structures, they both buy the diverse variety of goods with many different brands. They serve quality goods, good services and sometimes they have some goods on sale with low price. Specially, Lucky Plaza has many kinds of foods, Photo studio, Bossini, Levi’s, Bata shops that we like most. On the orther hand, Thomson Plaza doesn’t have those shops.
In conclusion, after taking everything into consideration, I think I made the right decision. We will have a shopping trip in Lucky Plaza with our favourite

    Store location is an important decision for retailers because location is “typically one of the most influential considerations in a customer’s store-choice decision” (Retailing, 167). Most consumers choose which store to visit based on close proximity to home or work, comfort level, and other surrounding retailers so shopping stays relaxing and a lot of driving isn’t needed. Victoria’s Secret in the Beverly Center is in a shopping mall. Reasoning behind the store being placed in the mall across from the elevators in the center is because malls have high amounts of traffic. Another reason why a mall location has its advantages, because malls provide the chance to combine shopping with entertainment, a great place to walk around catch up with friends while getting your shopping done, bringing in large numbers of people a day.…

    Tourists and locals alike frequent the outlets. Shoppers tend to come in between early afternoon to late afternoon and the place gets packed.

On a busy day, you will see cars on parked on pavements, grass patches, randomly on the roads. Fortunately, this can be avoided if you come slightly earlier in the day, beating the crowd.…

    IFC Mall is a great place to have fun. IFC Mall, a recently inaugurated complex, is a very clean and spacious mall which makes it a perfect place to hangout. Also, the location makes it even more perfect. You can enjoy the Yeoido Park which is right next to the mall as well. Although many people believe other places such as COEX, or famous department stores are a good place to hangout, I believe IFC Mall is an even greater place to hang out because you can shop diverse things, eat cuisines from many countries, and it has a great cinema.…
