About Shopping in the United States
—George Washington The United States has by far more retail floor area than any other country in the world, both in total and per capita; much of it is in shopping malls, big-box stores and other large-scale premises designed for car-borne customers. Retailers are under pressure from the growth of online shopping. American retail stores are gigantic compared to retail stores in other countries, and are a shopper's dream come true.

Supermarkets sell both fresh and packaged food of all types, as well as non-food items such as diapers, soap, hair dye
