"MAIN
STREET RETAILERS" MAKING A COMEBACK IN LAS VEGAS
(Las Vegas, NV) - The newest trend in
Las Vegas retailing isn't really new at all. Supermarkets, drug
stores and hardware stores are making a big comeback, giving
neighborhoods localized, retail alternatives to centralized
warehouse stores and shopping centers.
"What we are seeing is the proliferation
of small, neighborhood shopping centers with tenants that
used to be identified with nostalgic downtown shopping districts,"
says Hank Gordon, president of Laurich Properties, Inc., Las
Vegas' largest shopping center developer. "You could call
these new supermarkets, drug stores and hardware stores 'Neo-Main
Street retailers.'"
