10 Best Popular Stores In The World

Nowadays it is very easy to go to a shopping center or a department store and find practically everything we need, these types of shops dominate from clothes to appliances, having hegemony over the market.

The success of them is that you do not have to leave the same place to find what you want, although to buy a number of small products later it can be uncomfortable (luckily there is the little store on the corner).

These stores are among the most important around the world and not only stand out for their power, but also for their positioning and brand value (a value that a product has acquired throughout its life and how the consumer perceives it). These are 10 of the most powerful:

List of Popular Stores In The World
