Convenience or Strip Center

This retail subtype is characterized by having a row of stores, with on-site parking often found in the front of the stores. Open canopies may be used to connect store fronts of the tenants at the center. Average size may be 10,000 – 15,000 SF and larger, with a trade area of less than 1 mile. A typical anchor for these types of centers may be convenience stores, such as a mini mart.
