Talk:Anchor store
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This stub should probably be merged into the Shopping mall article. There's not really enough here to justify a seperate article at this point.
- Not enough here yet. However, I wouldn't merge it in with shopping mall, since there are other uses for "anchor store" besides just shopping malls. SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

- I'm thinking in relation to things like older open-air shopping centers (where a grocery store is the anchor store), and developments of unrelated retail in towns. On that last one, I'm referring to something like this - in my town, a stand-alone Wal-Mart is the "anchor" store for small stores all around the general vicinity. Hope that helps convey what I mean.

- I think I understand, but in that case, the store is acting as an anchor for a pedestrian mall, or a strip mall. Those are covered in the shopping mall article. This article is talking specifically about anchor stores as regards to malls. shaggy 05:11, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

This article was recently redirected to Shopping mall#department stores. I don't know that I agree with that move. First, in this day and age, department stores and anchor stores aren't necessarily the same thing. Second, I believe this article is a perfectly valid stub that has the potential for expansion.

- I agree with you. This article should remain freestanding. In fact, the gist of the earlier discussion had to do with my trying to get the other contributor to think more long-range. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
