I'm planning to visit the mall this weekend. What are some common types of anchor stores?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Anchor stores are usually large department stores or popular retailers that attract a lot of customers. Examples include Macy's, Nordstrom, and Target.<|im_end|>

I've heard that some malls also have grocery stores as anchor stores. Is that true?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, that's correct. Some malls have grocery stores like Walmart or Kroger as anchor stores, especially in areas where there's a high demand for convenient shopping.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That sounds convenient. Do most malls still have traditional department stores as anchor stores?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Many malls still have traditional department stores, but some are shifting towards having more specialty stores, entertainment options, or even non-retail spaces like restaurants or fitness centers as anchor attractions.<|im_end|>
