Not every strip shopping center in the US survives.

Strip Shopping Centers
Strip shopping centers are smaller than shopping malls and are rarely enclosed. Their largest stores are discount or drug stores or supermarkets, with a few specialty stores. They are located on major roads with parking areas in front. In some suburban areas, strip shopping centers can adjoin each other making for non-stop stores for miles on end. Americans do a great deal of their average everyday shopping in strip shopping centers.
