Établissement commercial qui attire un grand nombre de clients et garantit la circulation dans le centre commercial. Ce sont de grandes surfaces alimentaires et d'habillement, principalement. Dans les centres plus petits où l'orientation est plus créative que commerciale, ils peuvent être remplacés par des cinémas ou des restaurants. Le succès du centre réside en la propriété du local ou tout au moins un contrat de location privilégié. 2, record 1, French, - magasin%20pilier
