The modern shopping center differs from its antecedents—bazaars and marketplaces—in that the shops are usually amalgamated into  to buy all the goods necessary to operate commercial and multi-family properties. Buying through SiteStore streamlines the purchasing procedures of real estate companies, allowing them to dramatically reduce their costs.

"SiteStuff is bringing the Internet revolution to the real estate industry. Commercial property owners and managers can now save time, money and gain better control of their purchasing through technology advances created by the Internet," said Michael Stewart Michael Stewart may refer to:
