Absolutely.
For my mother - who had many other hobbies and outlets - what she described as "shopping", was as much browsing, and a social activity, - this was where she often ran into other womne, where they'd chat, exchange news, and sometimes, go for a coffee, as anything else, such as "shopping".
City centres have too many Phone shops, too, along with the charity shops, hairdressers, shoe shops, and yes, coffee shops of varying quality.
Try finding a decent hardware shop in the city centre, these days.
Me, I used to do my browsing in music shops and boos shops, two dying breeds; and no, online shopping may supplant them, but will never replace them.
This is because, whenever I went into a music shop, it wasn't solely for the purpose of buying something; it was to chat to the people behind the counter, (who were oftehn enthusiasts, and had knowledge and recommendations) sometimes run into frieds and colleagues, see what was in the music racks, often see something you had never heard of but were curious about (cue invariably informed advice from the knowledgeable, enthusiasts behind the counter).
Amazon may offer variety, - and yes, convenience - but there is no pleasure in dealing with them. You never learn anything new (unlike when browsing in bookshops or music stores), there is no joy, just a crude exchange, a transaction; they treat their workforce like dirt, and reduce everything to a crude transaction.
