Shopping at the Virtual Mall

Wouldn`t it be great if you could shop online in the same way that you shop at your local mall? Walking around from store to store picking out the specific items you need without having to travel too far between each. Well now your online shopping experience could be just as fun and simple with the new virtual mall. Imagine yourself walking down the isle in your favorite mall and what you will see are storefronts on either side of you. In America?s Virtual Mall there are 4 floors of shops with 400+ merchants, located in 52+ departments, each with its own banner, or storefront to click on that will take you directly inside that store.

Most of these merchants offer special promotions that are only available to web shoppers and these promotions change often so a shopper will want to keep checking back. Some of these businesses are well known and established national chains while others are still in their infancy. It?s these newer merchants that are likely to spark an interest in window shopping with their tremendous variety of merchandise. Fred Lockard, President of A.V.M., stated that the goal of his company is to provide the greatest freedom and ease of shopping on the Web especially for anyone not able to visit these merchants in person.

?People not able to get out of their homes because of illness or weather, people residing in Independent or Assisted Living Centers, people at work in an office who don?t have time to shop, but may have 15 or 20 minutes during their lunch break to go online to A.V.M., or someone who just likes to have fun to window shopping will especially like this site?. Whatever the reason there is a store here to satisfy virtually everyone?s need. Mr. Lockard also stated that he is looking forward to the next milestone of his fledgling, but rapidly growing company with the announcement of the 500th merchant to join America?s Virtual Mall, which he projects will be in mid February of this year.
